Preview:What a surprise discovery while preparing a talk to the Uckfield Family History Group: photographs to do with Heathfield in New York Public Library! These form part of the Schwimmer/Lloyd collection: Rosika SCHWIMMER was a Hungarian women's rights activist, journalist, pacifist and diplomat; her friendship with American peace campaigner Lola LLOYD began after the outbreak of the First World War when SCHWIMMER was touring the United States putting the case for a non-military solution to the conflict.
The photographs of particular interest to Heathfield date from the years before the War and tell a story little known in the area - about the DRYSDALEs of Cherry Croft, situated to the east of Heathfield, beyond Broad Oak, towards Burwash.
