Hastings and the places nearby.
Hastings is an old fishing town with a working beach fleet and tall net huts at the Stade, a historic Old Town squeezed between two hills, and a strong artistic scene that has grown since the Jerwood Gallery opened. The town combines areas of real deprivation with an influx of creative incomers, and much of the housing is steep, old and exposed to salt air. For trades that means constant demand for roofing, damp and exterior repairs. Independents here benefit from a website with character, and visitor-facing businesses need to be easy to find on a phone.
Elsewhere in East Sussex, Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles), Battle (6 miles), Rye (9 miles) and Hailsham (14 miles) are within reach. A longer drive takes in Tenterden (15 miles) and Lydd (16 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Old Town, St Leonards-on-Sea, Ore, Silverhill, Hollington, West Hill and Fairlight: if you work in particular parts of Hastings, those names belong on the site.
From our base in Exeter, Hastings is about 180 miles to the east. Its postcodes start TN.
