EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling seafront of Hastings on a crisp autumn day, precisely captured on 6 November 1890. The image, part of the General Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, offers a nostalgic glimpse into Victorian-era commerce and architecture in East Sussex. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, our eyes are drawn to the row of charming seafront shops and pubs that line the promenade. These establishments stand as proud symbols of trade and community in an era where seaside towns thrived on tourism and leisure activities. The intricate details of each building's façade evoke a sense of grandeur with their ornate balconies, large windows adorned with lace curtains, and meticulously crafted signage hanging above doorways. One can almost imagine locals strolling along the beach or enjoying refreshments inside these establishments while taking respite from their daily routines. Beyond the buildings lies a picturesque coastline framed by majestic cliffs. The crashing waves against the shore create an atmosphere filled with both tranquility and excitement—a reminder that nature's beauty is forever intertwined with human endeavors. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to how architectural heritage shapes coastal communities like Hastings. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection to nostalgia while appreciating how history continues to shape our present-day experiences by preserving cherished landmarks for future generations.
