Hydecroft (House): A memory of Lowfield Heath

Hydecroft (House)

A Memory of Lowfield Heath.

My grandfather was born at his family's home, Hydecroft, which I gather must have been quite a sizeable affair (advertised later as having 8 bedrooms, 28 acres including a tennis-court). I can find no record of it now, but does anyone have any family records or memories of it?

Hi, I have some photos from around 1919-21 when the Brocklehurtss were there and two from 1922 when the Goldmans were there. At some point it was demolished to make way for Gatwick Airport.

My grandfather (surname Gatford) was born there (27 March 1885), but had left there by his marriage in London in 1920. At one stage we had a tattered auction flyer from when it was sold, but it has unfortunately gone. I'd be really interested in any photos that might exist, from any time in the house's history.
