A 1066 Centre would give Hastings a major new heritage attraction, and help boost the town’s economy. It is proposed that it will be home to a replica Bayeux tapestry, and also for the Hastings Embroidery.
It is envisaged that a 1066 Centre would give Hastings a major year-round attraction, appealing especially to visitors interested in culture and history.
It could also provide:
- · a specialist library and research centre for Anglo-Norman studies, which could develop to become a specialist institution of Higher Education.
- · Facilities for School parties
- · A lecture theatre; hosting of conferences
- · A specialist book and souvenir shop, and an outlet for handmade local crafts.
- · The centre could be hired out for special events.
Possible sites, owned by HBC:
- · Summerfields Estate, near HMAG, John’s Place, Bohemia Road
- · White Rock Gardens – disused bowling greens
- · Site of Bohemia Mansion, currently occupied by Registrat of BDM etc. due to move shortly
- · West Hill, near Ladies’ Parlour
