Seamen's Institute

The building on the corner of Nott and Beach Streets housed the Seamen’s Institute , once a refuge for the crews of ships that brought immigrants from all over the world. During the last war it was a hive of activity as it accommodated refugees from south-east Asia fleeing from the Japanese invasion. By the beach, the two tiny ablution blocks have historic multilingual signs e.g. LADIES - DONNE - RYNAIKIA
