Is there any member who lives in the area of Lewes in Sussex.?

what I have been looking for is a photograph of the Railway Mission in Lewes Sussex. My grandfather who was a Baptist minister baptised me there in 1962(not sure when).
The actual building is still standing although looks like the hall has been converted into a house.
I have searched online for ages looking for a picture from the 60/70s but can't find one.
So if there is anyone who lives in the area who may know the building im talking about or anyone have any suggestions where I may find a photograph.

I have exhausted several sites such as historic lewes etc but to no avail.

Thanks Sue, yes I have but didn't find anything.However I have just found a site called my brighton and hove.
There was an email and I have mailed a lady asking for her help. So fingers crossed she can.
Thanks for your suggestion though, very helpful
