Built in 1892 and opened the following year as a police convalescent home to replace a smaller building that had originally opened in nearby Clarendon Villas in 1890. The building became an auxiliary hospital during World War One returning to its original use in 1919 and continuing in that role until 1966 when a new modern building was opened on the seafront at Kingsway, see Image The building was sold to East Sussex county Council who converted it into a nursing home which it has remained ever since now operating under the name of Middleton Grove.
