Full Description
The former Public/Parish Hall appears on 1st (1862-1875), 2nd (1897-1900), 3rd (1906-1923), 4th (1929-1952) and Modern OS maps. The building is utilitarian, with a shaped Dutch gable at the west end. It was aquired by the Auguatinians in 1940 and is now St Augustine's RC church.
Littlestone-on-Sea was the brainchild of Henry Tubbs, who began to lay out the resort on the coast near new Romney in 1886. The development was never really successful and the tall seafront terraces were never extended into the grid of streets stretching back from the sea, which were only slowly filled with houses in the early twentieth century.
