The seaside resort and town of Hastings is in the county of East Sussex and is strongly associated with the Battle of 1066 and later in history, the invention of television. For centuries, Hastings was an important fishing port that still has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England. Often referred to as ‘the birthplace of television’, Hastings is where John Logie Baird lived from 1922 to 1924 and made his technical breakthrough that would change the world.
The Hastings Museum and Art Gallery is an excellent place to find out about the rich history and culture of Hastings. With an exotic mixture of fine paintings and china, a look at how wildlife today contrasts with that of 150 million years ago, special features for children with fossils that transform into dinosaurs, two Native American Galleries complete with tipi and buffalo and a display on the Hastings-born conservationist Grey Owl. John Logie Baird is celebrated too with a display on television history.
