About

The Old Hastings area centres around the historic fishing quarter known as The Stade, home to Europe's largest fleet of beach-launched fishing boats. Its working shoreline is lined with tall, black wooden net shops, unique storage buildings erected to protect gear from damp and rot. The smell of the sea and working harbour defines the atmosphere here.

Adjacent streets contain small museums and traditional pubs that have served generations of fishermen. The area is dominated by the rugged presence of the East Hill, with its steep cliff lift providing a direct link to the country park above. This is a functional, maritime community where history is actively maintained through daily industry.
