Working-men's hall lately erected at Eastbourne, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Working-men's hall lately erected at Eastbourne, 1864. 'We present a View of the Workmen's Hall which has lately been built, at the expense of Mr. W. Leaf, of Streatham, on ground bestowed by the Duke of Devonshire...The new building, engraved from a photograph taken by Mr. G. W. Hale...has a frontage of 42 ft. by a depth of 150 ft. The style of the architecture is Continental Gothic, and the edifice is built of red, white, and black brick, with Bath stone windows and doors. The design includes a tower, which occupies the south-east angle of the building, and through which is the principal entrance. The building affords the following accommodation - viz., public coffee-room, library and reading-room, serving-bar, smoking-room, kitchen and hot closet, and the means of cooking for about 200 people, when required; large lecture-hall, capable of accommodating 300 persons, with gallery opening into it for orchestra; retiring-room for lecturer, and private staircase. This hall is lighted by windows at each end and skylights in the open-timber roof. The premises also afford a yard for a skittle-alley, a place for smoking out of doors, and lavatories. The architect was Mr. R. K. Blessley; the builder, Mr. W. H. Standing, of Eastbourne'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
