Hastings & St Leonards Heritage

Old Hastings Preservation Society was founded in 1952 to promote the permanent preservation of buildings of beauty/historic interest, especially in Hastings & St. Leonards and foster an appreciation of the history of Hastings. We encourage and record research which supports our objectives. Good architecture, design and town planning is encouraged. In 1956 we founded the Hastings Fishermen’s Museum open daily in Rock-a-Nore Road and more recently Hastings History House.

The Battle of Hastings features on a new 50p coin this year.

The coin commemorates the 950th anniversary of the historic battle in 1066.

Images representing Shakespeare plays and Beatrix Potter tales are also among those featuring on coins in 2016 released by the Royal Mint.
