Planned and designed in the mid 1930s, the foundation stone having been laid by the Mayor of Bexhill in 1937, the Second World War delayed its completion and it was finally opened in May 1946, 8 months after the war ended in 1945. This is a very early example of an urban sports centre, a rare building type until the 1960s. It was built for the Bexhill Amateur Athletic Club and continues in its original fitness use as a gym and judo club. | Planned and designed in the mid 1930s, the foundation stone having been laid by the Mayor of Bexhill in 1937, the Second World War delayed its completion and it was finally opened in May 1946, 8 months after the war ended in 1945.
