No Guided Walk, but Coastal Currents continues...

True, no OHPS guided walk of the Old Town today, but there will be a few more guided walks to come: Sunday 14th of October (Battle of Hastings Day) will have guided walks of the Old Town and the Stade, and the day before a Stade Walk (13th, Bonfire) and over the weekend of the Herring Fair (17th and 18th November), there will be Stade Walks on both days (website). So plenty to look forward to still, and...

The 2018 Coastal Currents Arts Festival continues until the end of the month, which includes using the fencing around the site of the public toilets in the town centre, no potential canvas wasted! And there is still no sign of any building or use of this land, I've already suggested an open space, maybe seating for older people waiting at the nearby bus stop, maybe disabled parking, I await with baited breath...

And on Pelham Beach parts of ex-fishing boat, RX320 Rosie Haze, have been reassembled by the artist Nic Acaster (website) and turned into the sculpture Boats & Bones; details of the remaining festival can be seen at the Coastal Currents website.

Town Centre Toilets...

This photograph was taken yesterday, and the toilets in Harold Place are certainly being demolished, no doubt about that, so the building now being used for anything else is out of the question... The Observer recently suggested that a restaurant could be sited here, is an idea, but how many restaurants and cafes are in the vicinity anyway?!? A friend suggested the old underground toilets could be reopened, but the Council wants to save money, not spend more... What about keeping it flat and using as car parking space so the Council can get an income from the space? 

Just a thought, anyone else have ideas or knowledge, I haven't been to a Hastings Borough Council meeting or planning meeting for ages?!?
