No. 8 High Street seems to have been created, probably in the early 1800s, by sub-dividing a larger house into 3 smaller units. No. 8 only contained 4 main rooms. In the 1950s it was incorporated into the adjacent No. 7 High Street. Together with the adjacent buildings it was demolished in the 1960s when the cliff top garden to the south was extended. / The Town Green was originally a northward extension of the High Street but the space on which the green now stands was created out of property destruction and damage caused by WW2 air raids, and on / 11 December, 2024 |
