Hastings
Hastings is a town and borough in the county of East Sussex, within the historic county of Sussex, on the south coast of England.
The town is located 24 mi (39 km) east of the county town of Lewes and 53 mi (85 km) south east of London.
Historically Hastings can claim fame through its connection with the Norman conquest of England and because it became one of the medieval Cinque Ports.
Hastings was, for centuries, an important fishing port; although nowadays less important, it still has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England.
The town became a popular spot for 'taking the waters' (therapeutic bathing in the sea) in the 1760s, and then, with the coming of the railway, a seaside resort.
