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.

St Mary-in-the-Castle has succeeded in completing the formalities for establishing its new management structure as a charitable trust and company limited by guarantee under the supervision of an independent board of trustees. The trustees designate have been meeting for the last six months to plan how they will run the venue. Last week Charity Commission approval was obtained, writes Chris Cormack.
This confirmation of status will enable St Mary’s to start applying for various grants and get itself recognised on the arts touring circuit following a long-term plan instead of managing from day to day.

Presenter Michael Buerk visits the house at 21 Linton Crescent in Hastings, where Baird carried out his early TV experiments.
The episode will be shown on ITV at 9pm tonight Friday July 5.
“I went for a walk over the cliffs to Fairlight Glen, and my mind went back to my early work on television. Might there not be something in it now?”
He worked it out in his mind and with his friend constructed a ‘means of seeing wireless’ from a lot of odds and ends.
