Some classic photos there. Remember it well from when I was growing up. Thanks for putting them up.
Hastings has improved massively over the past 20 years. Still a lot of unemployment and social problems unfortunately.
I appreciated the pictures as well, though have only been here for 14 years, so don't remember some of them. My neighbour often laments the destruction of the old cricket ground. I fully endorse Quinney's points - my relatives in the Police all say that they do not get called out nearly as much as many years ago. Hastings is on the up, though there is still some way to go.
BBC Radio Sussex Breakfast this morning had an interview with Hastings United director Peter Sherlock on all this. 1hr 45 in - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04dpv5t
Blimey - those pictures take me back to my mis-spent youth, especially this one....

I used to frequent the cafe/club upstairs near the entrance to the cricket ground (always full of swedish and french girls in the summer) and the record shop over the road - can't remember the name of either though.
