A 19th Century view of the seafront with yachts in Hastings, a town in East Sussex on the south coast of England. Following the Napoleonic Wars, the town became one of the most fashionable resorts in Britain, brought about by the so-called health-giving properties of seawater, as well as the local springs and Roman baths. Like many coastal towns, the population of Hastings grew significantly as a result of the construction of railway links and the fashionable growth of seaside holidays during the Victorian era. In 1801, its population was a mere 3,175 and by 1891, it was almost sixty thousand
