Hazeldene, Great Haywood Somewhat confusingly, the name Hazeldene is used for two separate but parallel streets leading off Little Tixall Lane. The houses in this view are on the more westerly of the two and this road leads to Uplands. The name derives from Hazeldene House which was once occupied by the village doctor but was demolished in 1975. To add to the confusion there is now a Hazeldene House Surgery in Great Haywood but that is not on either of the Hazeldenes.
