St Nicholas Nursery?
The Village Archive run by Lindfield Parish
Council has received an enquiry, from a man
who as a child was brought up in St Nicholas
Nursery, Lindfield. Little is known about this
establishment other than it was a children’s
home and thought to have been run by East
Sussex County Council.
The building, demolished some years ago,
stood on the land that is now St Nicholas Court
– just off the Common beyond Lindfield
Primary School.
Can you help? Do you have any information
about St Nicholas Nursery? If so please contact
the Village Archive, Lindfield Parish Council
office. Telephone 484115
The Village Archive provides a local source of
reference material on Lindfield with access by
appointment. If you have anything relating to
Lindfield, e.g. photographs, maps, old deeds or
other documents relating buildings, people or
other aspects of village life, that you are
prepared to donate or loan for copying, please
