- ... that the framework of Crown House (pictured), the first building in St Leonards-on-Sea, was transported there from London by boat and wagon? Source: several, e.g. Mainwaring Baines (1990) p21: "... the timber framing ... had been prepared in London and brought down in readiness. As the roads of that period were poor, all materials had to come by sea to Hastings and then be carted along the coast ... great quantities of scaffolding and materials had been unloaded from a sloop and conveyed along in waggons." Also Brooks (2004) §6: "The timber framing was prefabricated at [James Burton's] London workshops and then transported by sea to St Leonards."
- ALT1:... that in 1950 the local council criticised the "out-of-date ... fake Greek architecture" of Crown House (pictured), the first building in St Leonards-on-Sea, and proposed its demolition? Source: Marchant (1997) p64: "... the councillors, who eventually had to decide what should be done about it, evidently did not place much store on historical significance. For them it was merely a redundant building in an out-of-date design, and the more strident of them spoke disparagingly of fake Greek architecture ... it very nearly became yet another lost treasure" (Brooks (2004) §7 explicitly states that "it was threatened with demolition").
