This DVD contains views filmed in the summer of 2008 set to music. Hastings can claim fame through its connection with the Norman Conquest of England;and also because it became one of the medieval Clinque Ports. Hastings was for centuries an important fishing port;although much reduced, it has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England. As with many other such places, the town became a watering place in the 1760’s and then with the coming of the railway, a seaside resort.
