About

Conquest ward covers the central coastal area of Hastings, including the historic Old Town and the Stade fishing quarter. The shingle beach is lined with distinctive black net huts, used by fishermen for centuries. The area contains many historic buildings, such as the tall, timber-framed houses along All Saints Street. The Jerwood Gallery and the Fishermen's Museum are key cultural sites here, focusing on local art and maritime heritage.

The ward is dominated by the East Hill, which offers extensive views over the English Channel. The East Hill Cliff Railway provides access to a country park atop the sandstone cliffs. The working beach remains active with fishing boats landing their catch. The main thoroughfare, Rock-a-Nore Road, runs between the beach and the steep cliff face, leading to the ruins of Hastings Castle.
