The Deco Building, Coombe Road, Brighton
A former factory building that has now been converted into flats. It was built at the end of the First World War specifically to employ disabled war veterans and initially occupied by Oppenheimer's National Diamond Works. Opened in 1918 the venture lasted only a few years being hit by the post war depression and the death of Bernard Oppenheimer and was wound up around 1924. It later became the home of Dentsply, who manufactured false teeth, until 1991 when they too closed. After a few years standing empty the building was totally refurbished and converted to residential use around 2000. There is another on the southern side of Coombe Road of which this is an extension that is also standing but is current used as a storage facility.
