thank you for your help. It has certainly given me a starting point. Does anyone have any pointers on where to look at what it did as a gentlemans club?
thanks

On closer inspection there are ten items listed but possibly only three refer to the place you are interested in.

Go to the Search Site for the Essex Record Office.

You may have to register but it is free to search. If you search for Cobham Lodge it lists quite a few documents that they have.

You then have to decide whether it is worth ordering copies.

I am doing some research on Cobham Lodge, in Westcliff, Essex. All I know is that it was one an Edwardian gentleman's club and now a hotel. I would like some help/pointers on where I could look for more information on this building.

thanks
