Conquest & St Helens

About

Conquest & St Helens sits north of Hastings town centre around The Ridge and St Helens Road. The Conquest Hospital campus occupies a central site on The Ridge and functions as the ward’s main employer and service hub, with outpatient clinics and an emergency department. Residential streets encircle the hospital, mixing terraces, semi-detached houses and some post-war council estates. Small parades of shops and a community centre provide everyday services, and regular bus routes link the area to Hastings town centre and Bexhill.

The ward includes several pocket parks, allotments and playing fields that break the built-up area and offer space for local sport and gardening. Community groups use multi-use halls and outreach facilities located near the hospital, which makes health and social services relatively accessible for residents. Street names such as St Helens Road and The Ridge mark the area on local maps, and the scale of the hospital site is a constant reference point for navigation and local planning.
