Hastings and St Leonards sign 'The birthplace of television' by John Logie Baird, East Sussex, UK
John Logie Baird conducted his experiments in television in Hastings. Baird arrived in Hastings early in 1923 to convalesce from a bad bout of ill health. Over the following 18 months he carried out experiments that led in 1925 to the transmission of the first true television image. However it was in Hastings that he produced the first shadowy outline of an object, the shape of a Maltese Cross in his lodgings at Linton Crescent.
