Central Parade is on the corner of Hoe Street and Church Hill. It was designed in 1954 by F. G. Southgate, the borough surveyor, and built in 1957–58 in 'Festival' (of Britain) style. The building is on the site of a Second World War V1 flying bomb attack in 1944, which resulted in 22 deaths and 144 recorded casualties. Historic England visited the site and on 18 October 2017 placed Central Parade on their register as a Grade II listed building of special architectural or historic interest.
