Clive Vale

Settlement in Sussex Hastings

England

Clive Vale

Beach Hastings has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England.

A harbour began construction in the late 1800's but funding ran out. The harbour arm was partially blown up during World War II to prevent the enemy using it, and so the boats have continued using the beach.

Around fifteen wooden and steel boats still fish and are moored on Harbour Beach to the East of the Harbour Arm. They are pushed into and pulled out of the water by bulldozers and winches. This would once have been done by horse walking around a circular winch.

The fleets future is constantly under threat due to increasing quota pressures.

Fishing Net Huts The huts were used to store fishing nets and equipment. The weatherboarded structures were around 25 feet high and 8 feet square. Due to the lack of space the huts were restricted to 8 square feet at the base, so they were built tall.

There are around 43 remaining in Hastings, which were Grade II listed in the 1970s. Most are found to the Fishermans Stade along Rock-A-Nore Road There were once many more which were destroyed by storms or demolished in the 1950s for redevelopment.

A lot in a small area In not much more than a few hundred square metres you've got a funicular railway, rocky cliffs, old boats, fishing net sheds, a museum and a narrow gauge railway.
That's certainly packing it in. Bring your camera.

Rock-a-Nore Road Probably a unique street name. I found this by way of explanation - "Rock-a-Nore is an urban area of Hastings, East Sussex, England, stretching from the Old Town area along Rock-a-Nore Road between the cliffs and the beach called The Stade. Its name was officially adopted in 1859 and derives from a former building "lyinge to the Mayne Rock against the north". Sounds feasible, I guess.
The tall building, a hotel and apartments, is also unusual, built in a style which mimics the famous old black wooden huts on the other side of the road where fishermen stored their nets.

Old Sea Mine, Rock-a-Nore Road Once quite a common feature of seaside scenery, the casings of old WW2 floating bombs made useful collecting boxes for donations to marine charities.
Their numbers have been steadily dwindling over the years as rust and new ways of fund raising take a toll.
