Hastings Museum is reopening on 28 July following the completion of an extension to improve access and circulation space. The changes include a new gallery of Hastings in the 20th Century. In the mean time here are some old archive photographs of the town to whet your appetite.
Look out for the Bathing Pool, West Marina Station and Coal Yard and the large building at the end of West Hill Road. There are no houses in Essenden Road and St Vincents Road.
Here you can see The Central Cricket Ground, the sidings at the station and the gasworks and surrounding buildings in Queens Road.
Here you can see Verulum buildings to the west of the White Rock Theatre, the original building on the site of White Rock House and the Royal East Sussex Hospital (RESH). There are open fields behind Linton Road and north of the Museum and you can see the old station buildings and sidings.
You can visit the Museum online at www.hmag.org.uk
