Story of The Old Hastings Preservation Society

In 1952 local residents were concerned that the historic character and fabric of Hastings Old Town was being lost by demolition and unsympathetic renovations. To secure a future for the Georgian Stables at the top of High Street and to keep a watchful eye on the historic environment the OHPS was formed.

We have two prime aims which are:

To promote the permanent preservation of buildings of beauty or historic interest, and

To foster an appreciation of the history of the town of Hastings and to preserve evidence of that history.

Since our formation the society has played a key role in preserving the Net Shops and Pelham Crescent, securing the Stables for the Stables Theatre Trust and leasing the old Fishermen’s Church and forming Hastings Fishermen’s Museum in Rock-a-Nore Road.
