Hi,
Does anyone know if there is access to the records regarding Pouchlands House, Ease Chiltington.
and if so where I could read them.
My Grandmother (Eva Catherine Jeffrey) was registered as staying there when she had a child in 1920. Also my Aunt Ella Violet Jeffrey was put there for some minor misdemeanour when she was about 13yrs old (aout 1933)
I would love to find out why they were there.
Best regards
Patience

Pouchlands House Honeypot Lane East Chiltington was the Workhouse
1948-1990 it was Poundlands Hospital
if you put the address into a search engine you will find further information

If you search for Pouchlands on the A2A site www.nationalarchives.gov.uk you get a précis of lots of records at East Sussex record office. Fascinating reading.

Thank you all for your help. Have looked at the websites you suggested and it seems I will be unable to read the documents until sometime in the future!
Best regards
