Hastings - Old Town

Attractive half-timbered houses stand in the narrow High Street and in All Saints Street, with its church of the same name. Pelham Crescent, below the castle, was constructed by Joseph Kay between 1824 and 1828. Hastings seafront promenade is lined with hotels, restaurants and places of entertainment. Next to the pier, completed in 1872, is the Conqueror's Stone at which William the Conqueror is said to have eaten for the first time in England.
