Yes, yet more filming is happening in Hastings as I write! Unless you've avoided the town centre or seafront since Tuesday you can't have failed to see evidence of the filming of a new Channel 4 drama, Close to Me. Filming in the town certainly helps to bring revenue to local businesses (eg location staff eating and drinking in local restaurants and pubs, indeed, some took part in the regular Thursday evening quiz night at the Dolphin Pub on Thursday), as well as to Hastings Borough Council, thanks to charges for parking and 'facility fees.'
Most of these photographs were taken this morning, the one above was taken down at the car park west of the Azur Pavilion, and the set and caravans etc, for Close to Me. Filming appears to be happening from St Leonards and all the way across to and up on the East Hill, where they were filming yesterday. Car parking here (above) will be limited until the 26th of September, by the way.
Again, this morning, a rather high up camera situated on a crane was cordoned off, so filming from dead in the centre of town, and surrounded by cafes! 😉 And yesterday, whilst I was visiting the reopened library in Claremont, similar cones preventing parking, and workers in high-viz jackets, were very much observed.
And (above), a couple of the film-makers lorries photographed a day or two ago, opposite the golf course, and which I saw similar of in Robertson Street and Harold Place earlier this morning.
So, something to look forward to at last!
