Opened in May 1946, 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.

It may have been planned before the war as its design is very much in the 1930s fusion of modern movement and neo-Georgian idioms, the latter most evident in the rather whimsical square-section cupola with clock face on the front elevation facing Bexhill Down.
