PS Don't know address yet.
In 1935 the Lee Tower complex was built on the seafront next to the old pier and railway station. It was designed by architects Yates, Cook & Derbyshire, and comprised a white v-shaped Art Deco building with a 120-foot tower. The complex housed a cinema, ballroom and restaurant, as well as a viewing platform at the tower's peak. The pier, unrepaired after breaching in aid of coastal defence in World War II, was demolished in 1958 and the complex was demolished in 1971, with its land now used for the promenade and remembrance gardens (Wikipedia).
Dick was based at Lee-on-Solent
