Another unfortunate event in Cuckfield

 During the A-Z Challenge I posted about some unfortunate events which you can find here.  Here is an event that surely should be another in the same series.  This event was reported in the Argus in 1899.

DROWNING FATALITY:  CUCKFIELD

In July 1899 a youth named Everest, a son of an estate labourer in the employment of Mr Sergison, and living in a cottage near a well known picrureque waterfall in the lower part of Cuckfield Park, was bathing with his two brothers in the waterfall pool.  He shouted "Look out" as he slipped into the deeper part of the water and sank.  His father was alarmed and everything was done to recover the lad but was without success.  The water was run off and the body eventually recovered.  

Cuckfield is my One Place Study and our blog prompt for September is Water.
