Hastings Old Town

I fancied a trip to the coast today (got to make the most of summer weather) and where better than East Sussex? I haven't been to Hastings for a couple of years and it was fascinating to see how the Old Town has become such a fashionable area - like Brighton 20 years ago. Some great interiors, galleries and antiques shops and some very gentrified back streets.

 

What a beautiful display - a garden designer lives here!

I stopped by in Robertsbridge on the way. A delightful ancient village with some wonderfully preserved medieval houses. 

Love the colour pop the green woodwork gives these pretty cottages!

Many famous people have lived in Robertsbridge including writer Hilaire Belloc, cricketer WG Grace, John Wesley founder of Methodism, and actor Edward Woodward.
