Watching this recording is a very emotional experience for me. Because (a) I lived and worked in Hastings from 1969 to 1971 and (b) my father played cricket up till the Priory ground was closed - you can see him in this video bowling

Thanks for posting this. It was definately filmed in 1988/9, that's when Hellbound : Hellraiser came out at the cinemas. My Great Aunty lived at St Leonards, I wish I could remember on which road! Very happy memories! I just posted on youtube our 8mm cinefilm of one of our day trips to visit Aunty, the Sun Lounge Marine Cafe which was our yearly haunt. We would spend the day with a picnic in the sheltered benches on the seafront right nearby. Salmon and cucumber sandwiches, almond slices and later, a strawberry mivvi. Aunty would dance in the sun lounge regularly. I remember the organ in there, it was awesome! I wanted to have a go hahaha. Love Hastings!

There's a shot at the end of Queen's road zooming in on an some posters advertising Hastings Beer Festival 1989 ... That's usually held at the end of June so I'm guessing it's a sunny June day. 23C and all the 'Astings people are out in their vests and shorts. Love it!

WOW...WOW....!!!!! So brilliant!! My home town how I remember it as a teenager! Thanks for this!

This is lovely, I was born in ST Leonard’s hospital, in 1965, My Mum and Dad lived with my Nan and Grandad, Nellie and Eric who ran the Lansdowne hotel on the seafront for a few years Hilda and Harold (I think that was their names ran the hotel beside that!), loved the green in front of the hotels there! Plus the stone lion outside! Visited Hastings historical society about six years ago now and spoke to a gentleman behind a desk, he was very nice and said that he remembered the Lansdowne hotel having a good reputation, was a lovely visit, (the hotel let me and my Mum and Dad in to have a Quick Look around! So lovely and thoughtful of them! Thankyou for the memory of it! Hoping that you do well😘)

You should see if you can digitally enhance this. So glad that someone back then took the time to do this. It's how i remember it. .. born in 1983 there

Wow, I had no idea anybody had commented on this video until now. So glad you like it as much as me. I lived in Hastings (Perth Road, Silverhill) from 1979/1980 to 2001 at 23, when i moved to scotland. Im really pleased it's not just me that is affected by Hastings and now lack of Hastings-ness for homesick me. It's so heartening to see posts on 1066 forums from people round the world saying they miss Hastings... take a look, google 1066 hastings guestbook It makes me proud. :cry:

Sir, thank you for this very interesting record of how things used to be in Hastings & District! although I had left the area by 1989, it revived a lot of memories!

Thanks for the video. I was in Hastings in 1989 and this video brought back good memories.

This is incredible! I lived in Hastings 2008 to 2016. So much has changed, but the gulls sound the same :-D Also good to see a couple of my watering holes; The Carlisle and The Clarence :-)

As an early 2000s kid and living in Hastings since birth I can sure say I wish I was an 80s kid. Also trying to recognise the roads.

First Visited Hastings on Friday 3 August 1984 with my parents & friends on a day out from Tunbridge Wells where they were living at the time (I was from Alsager in Cheshire ,staying with them on a week's holiday) and I remember buying an ice cream and dropped it onto my new decent shirt while walking along the seafront before stopping en route for a dinner on the drive back to Tunbridge Wells. I visited again in October 84 and went in a Go-Kart ride but managed to bump into a wall and my sunglasses flew off for miles but lucily was not seriously injured.

This is a blast from the past. Thank You for doing this, Face Book is swamped with this footage. xx

hastings town centre is really booming in this video compared to how it is now makes it look like a ghost town now!

3 almost criminal acts in Hastings. 1) Pedestrianising George Street and stripping it of its character, turning it into a refuge for tattooed idiots. 2) Allowing the pier to fall into disrepair, the dodgy way it ended and the failure to rebuild it into a style suiting the surroundings and history. I'm not happy about the new plans for a super modern style, although I suppose it's better than nothing. 3) Demolishing the Cricket Ground. What were they thinking of? The last thing Hastings needed was more shops of the same type.

Thoroughly agree with you. The corrupt HBC allowed this lovely town to be butchered. Its individuality has been ripped up. I was born in Hastings before the founding of the NHS. I’ve lived in different places but have ended up back in hastings. I was in time to take photos of the diggers destroying the cricket ground…….,,,itwas soul destroying watching the carnage. Going back to the. 70’s the Albert Memorial was knocked down……..the excuse was that the two arson attacks which had in fact just cracked the the clock face. Truth was it was in way of 5he pedestrianisation of the town centre. It was one of Hastings “mystery fires” which seem to take place when HBC are involved. Latest one wa# the old Saturdays night club. HB.c had been denied permission to demolish it to incorporate it into their project adjoining it. Strangely it went up in smoke a week later!! Just think, a building that had stood empty for years self ignited one evening!!! Sorry, I’m really on a rant but this marvellous video has made its way straight to my heart. Having destroyed our green space which was the Central County Cricket Ground, some bright spark thinks it a good idea to “green” the town, rerouting bus services etc, at tremendous cost and of course liable to flood in the same way the cricket ground did on occasion. Sorry folks, I’ll stop!!!!!

A great upload. I love to see 1980's Britain - especially videos containing plenty of ECW bodied Bristol VRs in their heyday. Why I like Bristol VRs with ECW coachwork is still a little unclear? This could possibly have something to do with being born in 1980 and travelling on them as a child with mum. This will also explain a lot of other fascinations I have as an adult, some of which I wouldn't discuss necessarily on a platform like KZread.

Thanks for sharing this video as its fascinating as i lived in Hastings in the 80s theres a lot of long lost landmarks+ shops* that sadly no longer exist + many i had totally forgotten abt until i watched this video.I was living there from 1978 right through the 80s + into the 90s and beyond... and there seems to be a lot more traffic around than there is now.I dont particularly like the shopping centre but i cant name any shopping centre i do like but i have seen worse. What was criminal + stupid on the part of the town planners was the demolition of the tall victorian building opposite the town hall opposite the cinema.A landmark building + 2 more commercial properties just to widen a short stretch of road.What you have now is a dismal dead lifeless space with 2 sad looking kiosks.Pure stupidity + all about cars and traffic.Also removing the walls around the individual traffic/road islands at the memorial area so now its not somewhere to sit on the walls and watch everything go by and meet up with friends which i always used to do in the 80s so its another non-space.Stupid council *Shops like that weird old fashioned record shop on queens Road on the corner that always had that weird smell + also Huckells clothes shop where all the casuals in the 80s went+Stylus Records+Huffeys Newsagents by the station that i never went into although in hindsight i wish i had. Everything was much simpler back in them days

I was born in ‘92, it’s crazy to see how different Hastings was in the ‘80s!

When I first came to Hastings as a young boy in the 1960s, the town had real character. This excellent footage is taken some time into the start of the "decline". I missed much of this period of the town's evolution. "Losing" the cricket ground (the Memorial, etc.) was very sad.

Thank you so so much for posting this!

Very strange watching this, like looking through a screen into the past as if it still happens somewhere. At 0:04:51 the sign I painted over St Andrews Market. At 0:27:57 my dad beeps to the camera in a Cortina I think he had borrowed. I have my arm out of the window. At 0:29:52 John Woolloff, wearing a yellow t-shirt pushes someone away from him. Someone, possibly Nick Stott, sits down next to him. At 0:29:13, the late John Leskew speaks and the camera pans round to him a few seconds later.

The loss of the cricket ground was regrettable; I thought that it would have been best if they'd put the shopping centre where Safeway is and incorporated Safeway into it. The pedestrianisation of the town centre was a very good thing; I was a bus driver in Hastings in the 1980s and struggled through those motor vehicle cluttered streets with the blue and yellow mini-buses and Bristol VRs. Lots of my favourite shops have gone especially Olio Books in Robertson Street and many others too.

My late mother worked in Marks and Spencers from about 1979 to 1992. The current M&S is opposite. The old M&S building still exists but is disused. It was occupied by another clothing retailers for some time, Peacocks, but that closed in 2020.

Originally moved to Hastings when I was 12 from Surrey. Just been speaking to an old friend from the 80's and now we both live in other places in our late 50's. This is where I started my music career that is still going today. Great times at the Crypt and Saturdays, many of my mates ended up driving those little busses and there where plenty of them. Great memories of some great times, thanks for posting this (bit late I know)

that's Hastings as I remember it. Haven't been there in almost 30 years

I totally feel your pain mate. I felt like that when they dropped a huge asda at silverhill junction. Despite now living in scotland, 'Astin's is, and will always, be my home though. I was brought up in Hastings from 1980 to 2001, on Hillside rd, then perth rd between silverhill / hollington. Remember the old police station opposite tivoli tavern pub? I'm lookingg for some old photographs of battle road (1980s - 1990s) when the sweet factory was opposite rising sun pub.

I loved the cricket ground when i was little it is a shame a boring shopping mall replaced it. And now no public toilets in town centre.

So apart from Sketchley dry cleaners, were there any any shops that hadn't moved or were open ?

Just found your video. It's great but a bit depressing. Everything seemed to be selling up. I lived in the Hughenden Road area for the first 20 years of my life, and left in the late 50's. I've been back several times for brief visits and each time they seemed to have taken something else down or cancelled something! I just happened to be there one day when they were demolishing the Memorial! I just hope that things have bucked up for the place - it seems to have so much potential.

My goodness look at the cars😍

Thanks for the footage, I wish it was still like this.

Wow, this is so awesome.

Great video. I moved from London to St.Leonards in 1988. Brings back some memories! I'd forgotten what Hastings and St. Leonards looked like back then. Do you have any vids of the seafront at all?

I've watched this movie so many times, recorded when I lived in London. I now live in St. Leonards-On-Sea, and remember the Priory Meadow multi storey car-park being built. On previous occasion, as is the case with most of our viewings, we use our PS3. As you may be aware, there's no comment facility, so I've now used my PC to do it.

Crikey real blast from the past, remember Huckells a bit further back in time in the mid 70’s it was *the* place to buy trendy clothes

Fantastic film, This was 1989 according to the beer festival poster, I was 25 and attended the festival on the Thursday and the Saturday that year, I'm not sure if it has been edited but there is no, Old Town, Ore, Silverhill, East and West Hill, Seafront, West St Leonards, Warrior Square as it says in the description, just the town center, Hastings council are vandals for the destruction they have inflicted on us the people of Hastings and St Leonards and not just the sacrificing our jewel in the crown of a cricket ground for a car park and shops but the destruction they have wrought throughout the town.

2nd that. I been in nearly all these shops, except sketcheys for dry cleaning and a few more.

I moved down here at just about this time living very close to the town centre in Braybooke Road. Very interesting indeed. Was this taken for the purposed of the building of the shopping centre on the Cricket Ground please Mark Bartlett?

me too, i'm glad i'm not alone. :)

Sacrilege the Hastings council allowing the destruction of the fantastic building in Albert Street, (36 mins 16 secs ) can never be replaced , also the Memorial , the focal point of Hastings , not to mention the famous cricket ground and the grandeur hotel that was pulled down and replaced by Tesco's and superseded by the indoor market ,

True, that was an impressive building, but you've got to admit that the post-war brutalism was an obscenity.

The shops in Queens Parade were making way for Priory Meadow that far back?

This must be 1989 as that poster with Big Daddy states Friday 23rd June. 1989 was the only 80's year where this date fell on a Friday.

Huckells was a very good mens clothes shop. Nothing like it now. Some empty shops making way for new road layouts. One thing though, everywhere is bustling.

I hate to ask but is some parts of this video repeated again?

Thanks dai. It's a bit sad though.
