Sightseeing

You feel the power and beauty of the sea and its vistas of Hastings & St Leonards as you look to shore always remind me of being on a deck of a magnificent ship of old. It has been resurrected from a terrible fire which destroyed most of the old structures on the pier and deserves the love of visitors so that it can become an even better attraction in the future.
