Description

KINGSGATE BAY ROAD 1. 5283 TR 37 SE 6/119

KINGSGATE Captain Digby Inn

II

2. This incorporates a wing of the 'Bede House' a late C18 house of entertainment for the visitors who flocked to see Lord Holland's follies. By 1809 this was known as "The Noble Captain Digby" after Lord Holland's nephew and drinking companion who commanded the HMS African at Trafalgar. Most of it fell into the sea during an exceptionally strong gale but part of the old "Bede House" is incorporated in the present structure which is now outwardly early C19. 2 storeys flint-faced. Crenellated parapet. Stringcourse. 3 sashes with glazing bars intact, the centre one projecting. Crenellated porch now made into a window. Modern extension to rear.
