Sidney Little

A covered 1,500 ft (455 metres) promenade between Hastings Pier and Warrior Square, completed in April 1934 as part of the town's sea defences, was created using concrete panels containing thousands of coloured glass fragments for decoration.

The White Rock Baths[3] were reconstructed along with several other municipal projects such as the conversion of Johns Place into a museum and plans for an aerodrome at Pebsham near St Leonards on Sea, UK.

Little was unpopular with some people because of his willingness to remove historic buildings for road creation schemes, but his most important work was with the water supply to the town of Hastings and St Leonard's with the construction of deep tunneled aqueducts up to 200 ft deep and the construction of Powdermill, Darwell and Baldslow reservoirs to supply water.

Between 1940 and 1944, Little's expertise was used by the Ministry of Defence when he worked with the Admiralty on the creation of huge concrete Mulberry Harbour floats that were used for the D Day landings.

They helped the Allies to take ashore large numbers of vehicles, personnel, communications equipment and other supplies – vital to sustaining the frontline forces as they pushed deeper into German territory.
