NOSTALGIA: Old photos of Hastings and St Leonards seafront

We hope that you enjoy our gallery of pictures from years gone by taken from our archives.

Please send us your old photos as jpegs to [email protected] Our photos below were originally supplied by Ion Castro (Ian supplied most of the photos), Hastings Library, Hastings Museum, Cynthia Wright, Steve Peak and David Padgham.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton: In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers. Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes
