Description
Two storey, brick-built hall with tiled roof. Constructed in 1935 with characteristic 1930s details. Render embellishment to the central bay (incorporating the entrance), including a date stone. Rottingdean was annexed to Brighton in 1928, and this – combined with a decline in farming and improvements to the coast road – led to much change in the village and the first suburban development in the area. The growth of the village led to a need for more public facilities, of which this hall forms part.
