Bexhill colonnade
Before the De La Warr Pavilion was built, Bexhill's main entertainment venue was the Kursaal on De La Warr Parade. This had been built by the 8th Earl De La Warr in 1896 and was originally intended to be a pier, but it was never extended out to sea.
The Kursaal, under its most famous manager, James Glover, provided high-class entertainment for the town's elite and its wealthy visitors.
During the first world war it was renamed the The Pavilion, after one of the national newspapers declared it a scandal that an English resort should have a building with a German name
