If you mean the one opposite the Town Hall, it's being converted to flats. It was finance.

I wonder if the building been renamed Lewes Mansion in anticipation of some pretentious residents?
Wonder what the other LDC buildings in Fisher Street will be called when they are redeveloped?

I think they should call the building Council House.

I'm thinking of opening a book on the next public building to be converted into flats. The public lavs near the station must surely be ripe for redevelopment, and there's a little borehole or something on Western Road that I'm sure Southern Water could manage without. Could probably get half a dozen flats on that plot.

Given that the asking price of a studio flat above the Cancer Research shop is �175k, almost any development in Lewes must have a profit in it.

How about that phone box (if it's still there) between the Lansdown and the public lavs by the station. Bijou residence with easy links to the station. All mod cons just a short stroll away.

There's an electricity sub-station on a little green at the top of the Nevill. If that was relocated, you could get a nice detached house on there.
After all, they built one when they moved the sub-station in Castle Ditch Lane.
