We live in the old town of Hastings,which is 3 streets –The Bourne (where the old river flowed, now the old road to London,The High Street and our street-All saints, (Tackleway is a road almost on the East hill).

We are at the bottom of two hills-The East hill and the West hill of which Hastings Castle built by William the Conquerer stands.
