This cottage hospital was opened in 1933 by Princess Helena Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, a cousin of King George V, in the presence of the Borough Mayor, the Earl de la Warr.

The hospital was designed by the Bexhill architect JE Maynard (who also designed the Grade II listed Saxons at 58 South Cliff in Collington) advised by the accomplished architectural practice and hospital building design specialists Adams, Holden & Pearson in an elegant neo Georgian style. Its construction was funded by a successful appeal for donations from the people of Bexhill. It was expanded over the years, having a 62 bed capacity by 1939, a three-storey nurses home in the grounds to the south which was completed in 1934 (in the same neo Georgian style) and a flat-roofed outpatients department at the northern end of the site opened in 1938.
