Grand Ocean, Saltdean, Brighton - a photo on Flickriver

            Originally a hotel opened in 1938 and designed be the architect  RWH Jones the hotel was used by the military during the Second World War and was then brought by Butlins in 1953 and became a holiday camp.  

The hotel has since been sold off and converted to apartments with newer parts built. The original building is very modernist and a lot of comparisons to the Midland Hotel in Morecambe that had been built a few years earlier which was the very obvious influence. The next extensions built on are disappointing however.
