Throughout the years many artists, writers and poets have loved and been inspired by Hastings. The streetscapes of the town, its dramatic golden cliffs and the green hills beyond, and, above all, the sea together create a setting that makes Hastings and its environs unique. Hastings and St Leonards in Old Photographs allows the reader to browse through changes in fashion and architecture, to watch as empty roads gradually fill with horse-drawn traffic and then with trams, trolleybuses, motor buses and cars, and to recollect the last days of steam.
