This former Salvation Army meeting hall is a good example of Edwardian faith architecture. The foundation stone was laid in May 1914 by Viscount Hythe, Thomas Brassey, who had been Mayor of Bexhill in 1909.
The classical façade of red brick with stone dressings has a Diocletian window over the pair of entrance doors, porthole windows either side and a shaped gable above.
The Salvation Army closed the hall in 2006 and it has been in commercial uses since then, most recently Centre Stage, an events venue.
