Abstract: |
An archaeological Desk-based Assessment has been carried out the Stade, Hastings. The proposed development of the Stade and Jerwood Gallery is located on the Pink Stade, an area of former beach, south of Hastings Old Town and outside the original town wall. Traditionally in Medieval and Post Medieval times it has been the centre of the Hastings fishing industry, and also the location of ship building and other associated industries. The desk-based assessment has established that due to the storm damage during the later 19th century it is unlikely that any earlier archaeology will have survived on the Stade, apart from remains that may be buried below the gravel shingle beach. Previously remains of earlier harbours have been revealed nearby, and it is likely that any deep excavation will disturb buried archaeological features. It is very likely that archaeological remains of late 19th and early 20th Archaeological Services century date will be preserved below the existing tarmac and paved surfaces on the Stade, whilst other remains could be disturbed during any work on the associated road system. |
