Description
Hastings and its neighbour St Leonards-on-Sea are often associated with the famous 1066 battle, but there's much more to this East Sussex town than meets the eye. In fact, it was here that television was invented by John Logie Baird, and the unique Piece of Cheese Cottage was built as a result of a bet in 1871. Beyond the town's more famous landmarks, there are many lesser-known stories and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. From the Mortuary House with its cold chamber and coffin hatches, to the Stag Inn, a favourite haunt of smugglers, this book reveals the lesser-known episodes and characters of Hastings through the centuries. With tales of remarkable people, unusual events, and tucked-away historical buildings, it's a fascinating look at a town with a rich and varied history.
