News that buyers are being sought for Hastings pier by the administrators has prompted action by the Friends of Hastings Pier, who have applied to have the structure reregistered as a community asset. Nick Terdre reports.
It’s not just Network Rail who have icicles in their tunnels! Over the last few days, temperatures have remained below freezing and ironically, on the first day of its summer opening programme, which starts on 1 March, long icicles have formed inside the tunnel of Hastings’ West Hill Lift, a 126 year old funicular railway which is still in operation.
It was cold outside but plenty of heat was being generated in the auditorium of the White Rock Theatre by the semi-finalists in the Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition. HOT correspondent Heidi de Winter watched and listened, drinking in the atmosphere and the music, as the remaining 11 contestants were whittled down to six. Photos by Bob Mazzer.
If you love litter picking and cleaning up, then looking back to survey a satisfying rubbish free zone, Transition Town Hastings needs your help. And TTH are also having their latest pot luck gathering this weekend.
Help Hastings Old Town walk off with Ramblers’ prize. Hastings Old Town is in the running (walking?!) to win the very first Britain’s Best Walking Neighbourhood Award, launched by the Ramblers on Monday 26 February. It is one of ten areas to make it to the final public vote in the new award, which celebrates the places that put urban walkers first.
Songs from Lindisfarne’s repertoire still echo for many of us. ‘The Fog on the Tyne’. ‘Run For Home’. ‘Meet Me On The Corner’. Classics from a bygone era that still resonate today. The auditorium at St Mary in the Castle is already sold-out, but you can still buy balcony seats and watch and listen to these excellent musicians who emerged from Tyneside in the 1970s and are clearly still going strong with a lot of fans keen to see them on their latest tour. Guaranteed you’ll be toe tapping, humming or singing along with gusto!
