I first mentioned this redevelopment in a blog a couple of years ago, but now it is coming to fruition. Indeed, the first of 2 open days at the Observer Building, 53 Cambridge Road TN34 1DT, is being held tomorrow (Saturday the 21st of May) from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm, and a second will be held on Wednesday the 25th May between 4.30 and 7.30 pm. The reopening of the building is planned for August, further information about their wide ranging plans, including homes, shops, workshops, and offices, is at their website, and, should you be interested in visiting on one of the open days, please register on their EventBrite page, which contains further information too.
With congratulations and best wishes to the regeneration team!
The Observer Building was designed by the prolific local architect Henry Ward in the early 1920s, who also designed the Queens Road Town Hall (blog) and Debenhams (blog), as well as being involved in many other local landmarks.
Henry Ward (1854-1927) was buried at Hastings Cemetery in September 1927.
