The lost 1950’s collection ....... No 5 Hastings

Now as you would expect the Queens’ Hotel in Hastings has been written about, and never one to trespass on other’ labours I will let the curious follow the link and discover more.*

Suffice to say that when our picture postcard was produced the hotel was a little off its hundredth birthday.

That said if I had access to the Judge catalogue and armed with the code I would be able to offer up a more accurate date for when our holiday makers wandered past the Queen’s.

Hastings is a seaside resort I have yet to visit and might well be minded to call in at the hotel which appears still to be in business.

Location; Hastings

Picture; Hastings circa 1950 from the collection of Andrew Simpson
