Conversion

A grand, totemic Grade II-listed building that was opened in 1904 as a dance hall and was then a casino. It is an impressive example of an Edwardian seaside pavilion that had become disused and dilapidated. It has been carefully converted into what is said to be the largest Wetherspoon's in the country, with two floors and two bars.
