Hey Jack, it was a Turnstone. 11:11 Love the way you prefer the smaller independents to the chain stores and food outlets. Really refreshing to see. 👌

me watching this as i just got home from hastings !

Hasting used to be quite an attractive place to visit, then it went downhill!! The seafront was the 1st to experience decay! Lots of ugly abandoned buildings. Then the town centre was next, not a place ti be at night, not feeling safe. I avoid going there now. Its a pity cuz i have family there.

The ''great more secluded beach '' at 1.40 is our nudest beach ; )

Two of the forts have been recently sold at auction. You didn't even get to Gunwharf Quays

Take us for a tour of the actual Town I am sure your viewers will enjoy that!

Should have gone to warrior square in st Leonard’s

Loving the recent vids!

3rd Generation Hastings here. It's always been a great place to live. Its always suffered from the classic modern day seaside down condition. Its slowly being gentrified in the st leonards end by DFLs. You'll note the general accent changes and the general attire goes to that of a prebuild persona choice brought from a personality off a shelf shop. The town centre is still suffering from everything shutting up and turning into vape and phone shops. The council removed all the benches and toilets due to drunks taking up the seating and it being a poor attempt at moving them on. The music and community is great. It's been great for years and years. Well presented video of the town.

Could you include places to eat and drink please ?

AHH Hastings, the anus of Britain

Sand martins nest in the cliffs at reculver.

I lived in Granville Road near the Dover patrol memorial with my brother and mother where we rented a 1 bedroom flat 1981-1989, it was such a small village. The primary school was (and is) outstanding. As French nationals, we could capture French TV on our French receiver on the white cliffs, way before satellite! My 1991 A'level Geography project was on the management of St Margaret's seashore and required much fieldwork at the beach! @6:17 No parking fees back then, it was free. Unfortunately, St Margaret's is completely unaffordable today. Lawyers, principally. Rocco Forte has a house there. Best to buy in Deal or Walmer for affordability.

Nice video. I joined one of those heritage sites a few months back. All my paternal relatives from my Great grandfather who moved to Greenwich ,London ,as far back as I've got to the early 1800s are in the Romney Marsh area . Great Great Grandfather married in the church in Dymchurch... The Census records him and his family living in a village called Orgarswick ,I think Dymchurch swallowed it up as I can only find a street of that name! They were all agricultural workers...he went on to be a tenant farmer in the village of Newchurch more inland. All sheepfarming I believe. I still live in London.

You didn't get to Alexandra Park! Some amazing old trees and lakes. It's just up from Queens Road in Hastings I'm a Londoner moved down to St Leonards many years ago. Hastings and St Leonards has everything you could want. Cafes in Bottle Alley and at Goat Ledge (St Leonards). Live music on Hastings pier in the summer. Art galleries and antique shops, And the charity shops are the best.

Really good fish and chips

Botany Bay,chalk stacks and aðjacent Kingsgste chalk arch; caves climb to cliff top as discovered as kids !

Will get back there one day - not the cheapest place to visit seems about 1k pp for 7 day average, but might be lucky with a last min deal

You didn't mention the fishing boats, or that Hastings holds the world record for the most amount of pirates gathered in one place.Also, the crazy golf world championships are held in Hastings. And the television was invented in Hastings.

“Ooh, oasis”! … says Jack. (subtly ignoring Floyd, AC/DC & Zep).🤔😅✌️

Binibeca Vell looks really nice 👌🏻

Hayling is one of those places lost in time. There's no McDonalds, Aldi, or a "proper" Costa.

Me and my family go to the park dean caravan park just up the road from Funland, we always go to Paltons park which is not far at all from hayling island, love hayling island

Pluckley hates all youtubers and investigators. I went there once and some guy tried to run us out of town .. "Proper joker" Pluckley is haunted. take what you know and x2 and that's how haunted it is . One of the best location is the UK for ghost hunters if the locals dont try to make you into the next ghost

Well done for featuring Hastings, where I was born and grew up, and which was my home for most of my life (I moved to France in 2011 and now have followed my family to Manchester). One important part that you did not visit was the Fishermen's Museum in Rock-a-Nore. My grandmother, Eliza Veness, wrote many poems about the Old Town and the fishing fleet, and was affectionately known as the "Poet Laureate of the Old Town". When I visit Hastings these days, I always go and do a selfie with my grandmother, whose photo is on the wall of the museum, as is that of her son Glencoe Veness (my dad's older brother). I never met Eliza, who died before I was born, but love this connection to her. Her poems are on sale at the museum. My son was christened in the Fishermen's Museum and is on their baptismal roll which hangs on the wall.

It's not great but it's not the worst place, a lot of the costal towns are pretty deprived and shabby, the tourist industry that they depended upon is no longer there, the area around Hastings is very affluent though

As someone who grew up in broadstairs. It’s nice to see it through new eyes! There’s things you don’t notice if you’ve always lived there

Another DFL from Croydon here. But - we moved into a pre-existing house 24 years ago. As much for the superior quality education for our son (as Kent education was then) and the pleasant , semi-rural way of life...We still love the place, but it's changing.

Been there a few times, its a lovely place. Drive through the narrow town, up the hill, and loads of spaces there. They had donkey rides the last time i went (2009) on the beach. Like you Jack, i love all the old town and looking at the shops.

Your favourite app is one for paying for parking? I don’t understand people anymore

I've been here a year now, in Hastings, but only seem to go to M&S every day.. I must investigate a little more :-)

Hi Jack Helpful information. You tempt me with your videos and chat. Keep it coming x

You didn't visit Wellington Square, full of history. I used t o work there, seeing the huge cliff every day beside the window.

Nope never would never Will id only see people shouting at the incoming tides too go back to wherever they tides domes from😊

Ha ha. I walked Derring woods at dusk all i heard were owls and buzzards and one of the most wonderful places to hear nightingales!!! They very real.

As a kid, many many years ago, my family had 2 holidays at the Sunshine Camp. Never saw a beach, only mud flats. Never forgotten that. Even though I now live just along the coast - and have done for 40 years - I've never been back.

Grew up and live here. Quiet in winter and busy in summer with visitors. It’s very seasonal. The station is mainly open in summer and for tourists, runs from Hythe to Dungeness and runs through the Marsh at the back. It’s the smallest running railway in the world. Beware of the gulls, have seen them fly down and snap an entire cod straight out of your hand. They dive bomb 🤣

Go back when the winds are blowing. Night walk would be ideal. I live in a 124-year-old house and it has had it's ghostly moments. Its a bit dormant now but one never knows when the activity returns. I live in Virginia USA

The last time I went to that pool place was in 1999. I used to live at Allenby House in the late 90s.

The events seem to keep it in the press, not always for the most positive reasons but on a sunny day it looks great, shame the residents of those flats didn't like the rides actually!

We were there and still got the badges and flags June 2015 for Dreamland reopening, the scenic railway wasnt ready and it didn't get the best media coverage, at last with Sootys mate running the fair it looks and feels alive again, be back over the aug bank hol, love a beanos diner near the shell grotto

Love Herne Bay and its pier head at sea, great arcade and cafe inside decent cappuccini... was hoping to see the Tele Go Round, Rotary charity game on seafront, where if you get the jackpot all the characters including thomas the tank and miss piggy all open up...

We parked near the lifeboats £3.90 an hr so only paid for 1, should have stayed longer didnt see half of that you shared.... it was a Monday though, not good usually in fishy places

Some places are great out of season, Hayling and Margate two places I much prefer in season. The railway (with it's Thorpe Park connection) and Funland are the main draws, really like that small fair, awesome donuts

Didn't realise it but have been to that pub before, now i know where it was

Do love piers that still have the fishing platform at seaward end, especially there where you can see right through, really like the chippy opposite pier for an eat in fish supper
