{{BuildingInfo}} == Beginnings == Originally the [[University School]] Annexe. By the time Pikes street directory for 1916 was published, it was known as the “[[KnownAs::Bushby Home for Male Convalescents]]", The Hermitage, [[StreetNumber::32]] [[Street::Holmesdale Gardens]]. == Use during WW1 == During the first war the building was taken over by “No 8 Canadian Stationary Hospital” as an auxiliary hospital for ordinary ranks with a capacity of 120 beds.<ref>http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/his/docs/CFGW_MedSvc_e.pdf p218</ref> It was described as “situated near the centre of the city, not far distant from the [[Hastings Pier]]. It was a stone building which afforded a good disposal centre for suitable cases from the Main Hospital” (in this case the [[Union Workhouse|Workhouse]] which had also been allocated to the unit). == Post WW1 == In 1926 it became the [[KnownAs::Hermitage Convalescent Home]] run by the Printers’ Medical Aid and Sanatoria Association (PMA), until around 1970 when it reopened as private nursing home. The basement became a nightclub run by [[Joe Riordan]] during the late 1970s/early 1980s. == Demolition == Permission to demolish the existing building and the erection of a seven storey building comprising 28 flats with ancillary parking for 28 cars was granted in 1985. {{ShowImages}} ==References== {{footer}} [[Category:Named Buildings]] [[Category:WW1]] [[Category:Hospitals]] [[Category:Nightclubs]]
