Behind the Queen Anne style stuccoed front at number 186 Seaside is the former Eastbourne Picture Theatre, which was built in 1904. It became the Elysium Cinema in 1921 and the Gaiety in 1936. Constructed of brick, with some iron columns. There is a long auditorium behind a narrow foyer. Much original internal plaster decoration survives. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1390538 Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort on the south coast of East Sussex, some 54 miles south of London and about 19 miles east of Brighton. Although there is evidence of settlement from the Stone Age onwards, Eastbourne remained an area of small rural settlements until the railway arrived in 1849. A resort, built "for gentlemen by gentlemen", was planned and the town's growth accelerated from a population of less than 4,000 in 1851 to nearly 35,000 by 1891. Tourism is a large and important part of the economy of the town.

I think this was the name of this pub on the corner of Seaside and Firle Road. The name is almost completely obscured by bunting and banners. It has since been renamed.

Now a block of flats, called helpfully 'The Old Library'.
