Victoria Court Hotel

A Memory of Eastbourne.

My late granny, Ivy Howell/Ellis's aunt, Catherine Emma Constance Smith was the proprietor of the Victoria Court Hotel in the 1930s and 40s we think. My granny, who lived in an Industrial school in Poole was collected by aunt Catherine to stay in the hotel during some school holidays. Apparently, Catherine wanted to adopt my granny but sadly, the authorities wouldn't allow it.
