The building was originally Knoll School for Boys which opened in 1931 and closed in 1979 when a series of mergers between four single sex schools and one secondary modern produced two current secondary schools and rendered this building superfluous. Now a number of small business units.

Numbers 368-370 are private houses though the latter looks like it may have been used as a commercial premises before. Number 372 is a Chinese takeaway and 374 a general store which for many years was a local post office. the houses were built in the 1920s.

Built in 1931 as the Knoll School, educating both senior girls and boys, and included an infants block on the northern side. The school was built as a large rectangle with a line of offices dividing the building into two quadrangles, the western side for boys and the eastern one for girls. The growth in population due to the construction of Hangleton estate after the war meant space became a premium with the infants moved to a new site in Stapley Road in 1956, see Image, and the girls to a new campus in 1967 that later became Hove Park School. A large reorganisation of educational establishments in 1979 resulted in Knoll being merged with the mixed Nevill County Secondary and Hove Grammar School for Boys to become Blatchington Mill School. With the other two schools located on adjacent sites, Knoll became superfluous to needs and was sold off. In 1980 it reopened as a business centre, which it remains to this day.
