Originally a school belonging to neighbouring Image that lost its secondary pupils to a new school in Woodingdean in 1955 and later the rest to a new building in Whitehawk Hill Road. After that it became the Fitzherbert Centre part of which was used as a homeless shelter until 2008 when forced to close after an arson attack. Not sure what it is being used for at present though it is still owned by the church and I've seen suggestions in including it within the Marine parade/East Cliff conservation area. Beyond is Image Upper Bedford Street runs from the B2118 northwards to Eastern Road and as a general rule of thumb is often seen as the western boundary of Kemp Town.
