I've always understood this was called Sussex Lodge. I believe it was also used as a Military Hospital in WW1.

You are right, it was Sussex Lodge, where did I get Sussex House from? I know there was a Sussex Square and a Sussex Place in the town, these are now but a distant memory.

I think this house was demolished sometime around 1960 - I am sure it was there when I used to go to the cinema around 1959.
