The Towers is on Marine Parade East. It is not a nationally Listed Building. It was built in 1891 as The Towers Hotel, but never reopened after the Second World War. Instead it became a hall of residence for the St Osyth Training College, formerly The Grand Hotel, on the opposite side of Vista Road, before being converted into apartments. Please see Robin Webster's Image] for a view taken from a similar position two years, bar a day, earlier.
