Do you remember the Abbey Life building in the 1980s?

Situated at 80 Holdenhurst Road the purpose-built office building housed their headquarters for many years until the company needed bigger premises and expanded.

Several buildings were demolished to make way for the development including Seabourne Motors and the Chevron Petrol Station.

An additional Abbey Life building was built next door at 100 Holdenhurst Road and was opened by David Mellor MP on 7th June 1991.

The original building is presently the office building Ocean 80 and developers are looking to turn the building into flats.
