About

Old Hastings ward covers the historic core of the town, centred on the Stade fishing beach and the famous net shops. The area is defined by its working harbour and the steep streets of the Old Town, which climb up to the East Hill cliff. This is the original Saxon settlement, with narrow lanes like George Street and All Saints Street containing a mix of historic pubs, shops, and houses.

The area remains a functional fishing community, with boats launched directly from the shingle beach. The Jerwood Gallery is located here on the Stade, and the ruins of Hastings Castle overlook the area from the west cliff. The steep geography and preserved medieval street plan give the ward its distinct, compact character, separate from the more modern town centre.
