Description

Hastings and St Leonards: A Pictorial Record of Life in the Past The town of Hastings, on the coast of East Sussex, has a rich history dating back to medieval times. Its development into a seaside resort in the 19th century brought about significant changes, including the construction of an elegant new town in St Leonards. This collection of old postcards provides a unique glimpse into life in these towns from the Edwardian period to the end of the First World War. The photographs show how landmarks have remained relatively unchanged over the years, yet also highlight the many adaptations and changes that have taken place in Hastings and St Leonards. With its remarkable selection of images, this book offers a fascinating insight into the history and development of these towns and their communities. A must-have for anyone interested in the history of Hastings and St Leonards, this collection is sure to be of interest to locals and visitors alike.
