1963b and 1938. Anglican St. Peter Church, Prittlewell, Eastbourne Grove. Rebuilt church on site of 1933 is inconspicuous despite being on the skyline due to the thin nature of the spire on the high angle roof seen in distance here. Walls of yellowish brick and concrete with flint pebble ornament, also has image of a fish in coloured tiles just inside door. My photograph shows the two older halls in foreground, both of the 1950 photograph wavy red bricks but paler when facing the air raid rest centre than the 1930’s style hall in the middle. A similar one of St. Lawrence Eastwood was illustrated as part of a set of six coloured postcards commissioned by Medhurst’s Shop and taken in 1938. Probably they were built just after the 1936 Royal Coronation.
