On the rare occasion when we get more than a centimeter or two of snow, you will see Hastings locals out on East and West Cliffs with all kinds of "equipment" for sledging - plastic bags, black bin bags, washing-up bowls, eachother, swimming-rings, "For Sale" boards, as well as the more conventional snowboards and sledges.
Between the "net shops", you will find some old fishing boats. They were once part of Hasting's fishing fleet, but are now pahsed out. Information plaques will tell you some facts about the different boats.
The boats belong to the fishermen's museum, which is located in the former St. Nicholas church. The church was built in 1852 but was not used anymore after WWII. In 1956, it became the fishermen's museum where you can see pictures and items related to the fishing industry in Hastings. Admission to the museum is free.
The boat you see on the right side of the picture, "Edward and Mary" from 1919, was the first fishing boat in Hastings to have an engine installed.
Hastings Pier was inaugurated in 1872 and was once a very popular place. Quite a lot of shops, restarants and cafés were situated there. During the decades it deteriorated and in 1996 it was closed. For some years, the future of this landmark was uncertain, but a new investor was found and the pier reopened in 2002. However, the restauration works carried out at the beginning of this decade seem to be only slightly more than cosmetic works. The structure seems still to be in a status of deterioration. It is forbidden to walk under the pier as pieces of debris can fall down on you! So, currently a small part of the pier close to the beach is open.
HASTINGS i didn't need much time to decide to go to hastings when i looked for a location to join a language school. during a motorhome tour in '93 with my parents through kent and east sussex we spent two days in hastings. therefrom i had some memories and ideas about hastings in my head. and i knew that i'll be great to go back. so i decided to go to hastings and three weeks later i've already been there. ...three great weeks before me!!! and one thing is for sure: i'll visit hastings again!
