Council destruction of Hydneye House...
More by luck than actually knowing where the cutting below was hiding, I can now post the actual newspaper story about the final days of HHS.
Dated September 21st, 1974, the journalist with 'The Hastings and St Leonards Observer' writes with a surprising sympathy, the picture of the front elevation shows what a great building it really was, and the ceiling detail in the second pic, brings back memories as well!

This is really fascinating stuff. I have tried to enlarge the text so that I can read it but... alas.... it is not possible to see things clearly.
Is there any chance of a transcription of the text at all?
These are clearly the last pics of the place we are likely to see. Can anyone remember where the decorated ceiling was? I remember the one in the Dining room well enough, liberally decorated with bits of rancid butter that had been flicked up there
