as a young boy, E.I. BAKER's son Ernest worked for Mr. Ellis
-- The 15th century house on the right is on the corner of George and High Streets and
used to have a gallery overhanging the street on this side, but it was removed, as it
was a hazard to coaches turning the corner. The support joists can still be seen in the picture.

Thanks to Peter HUNNISETT for much of this information, some of it from 'Hailsham in Old Picture Postcards.'
