Hastings road shut after bricks fall from building

Station Road, the road that runs behind the town hall, and which links Queens Road with Priory Meadow, was shut today (Tuesday, April 2) on the advice of engineers because of a masonry fall from the Three store, Bank Building, 7 Station Road, the borough council said.

The falling masonry was reported by a member of the public around 3am and East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service attended.

Firefighters then contacted Hastings Borough Council, which called out an engineer.

On his advice the road was closed until the building was made safe.

All businesses on the road except the Three store are open to customers as usual.
