From the 1860s to 1897, Edwin Isaac Baker took photos of the people and places in Sussex County. He took portraits of people in his studio in Hailsham and traveled around the county photographing castles (including their secret passages and dungeons), homes, country scenes, street scenes, and groups of people posing, picknicking, fishing, and cycling.
Edwin Isaac Baker's photos were also printed in books of the day, sold as postcards, and organized into an album for each of his children. At least one of his albums resides in the Hailsham Museum.
