LONDON PARIS HOTEL - c1900 and 1942
East Quay
By Laurie Stonehouse
The London Paris Hotel was situated along Newhaven's East Quay; the building was bombed on the 23rd of March 1942 and sustained damage to the marine offices, and I believe there were casualties. Further damage to this building happened when a barge loaded with ammunition collided with a mine along the West Beach in 1944 (the explosion even damaged buildings in Lewes!). I suspect that this large structure was now beyond repair, and was demolished just after the war. Can anyone confirm the exact date?
