 our town.htm
Hastings is on the A259 coast road that runs the length of Sussex from Chichester in the west through Brighton Eastbourne and Hastings, and on eastwards to Rye and into Kent and the English Channel port of Folkestone.
Hastings is best known because of the so-called Battle of Hastings on 14th October 1066 when William Duke of Normandy having invaded England and captured the town of Hastings, confronted and defeated the Saxon army and killed King Harold.
However the silting up of Hastings harbour meant that it lost its use as a port, and the town became a modest fishing community with a lively sideline in smuggling, until the fashion for sea bathing at coastal resorts gave Hastings a new lease of life in the 18th century.

Last December, the same judges upheld a jury's verdict that Jenkins, 41, bludgeoned 13-year-old Billie-Jo to death with a metal tent spike as she was painting patio doors at the rear of the family's home in Lower Park Road, Hastings, East Sussex.
Mr Justice Gage and the Lewes Crown Court jury had heard that about 150 microscopic bloodspots found on his clothing could only have resulted from Jenkins being close to the girl as she was being struck.
The fact that he was an old boy of Hastings Grammar School (now the William Parker School), had made a couple of contributions to the school, and was a guest speaker there some months after the murder, "did not and could not give rise to any real danger of bias", Lord Justice Kennedy said.
