My great granny worked here as a domestic as of the 1901 census. Fun to see what it actually looked like when she was there! What a huge building!

Hi I would love to know when Warrior House was built and was it by Decimus Burton in 1852/3?
I am very interested in its history and with 1066 activities being arranged I would love for Warrior House to be featured.
Kind regards

The father of T.S.Eliot's first wife, Vivienne, died in room No 9 of the hotel in 1927. In 1934 Vivienne returned and wrote the following: "... a lovely clear night, with a low sloop down in the East, & the illuminated trains running up and down the front. It was cold & sharp & clean & very tempting to stay out. Full of memories, Father and Tom, Tom and Father - those two of my heart. The sea is so much of it all."

I worked in reception from 1965 to 1967, when it was closed as a hotel, the flats wer occupied. I now live in Canada and was under the impression it was closed for good in 1967, it appears it was opened again...Back then it was owned by Heddon Hall Hotel. Love to know what happened
