A few weeks ago, I went to Hastings for the weekend with Stuart. Hastings is where Stuart grew up and his family live, so we went to stay with them for the weekend. I had a tour of Hastings Old Town and it was full of so many adorable little shops and cafés. The Old Town is a blogger’s dream with it’s painted buildings, so I thought I’d write a blog post about it.
Old sweet shops are absolutely adorable and the Old Town has a few of them. I know retailers have tried to recreate this classic shopping experience with Hardy’s and Mr Simms chain stores, but it’s just not the same as walking into a little unique sweet shop.
I like visiting places that wherever you look or wander, there’s always something new to see. Hastings Old Town is exactly that kind of place! I really enjoyed exploring this area and having some time to take photos of the lovely buildings.
Beautiful photos! I love the look of the sweet shop. I live in an old market town and think that towns like this should all have to have signage like that to keep in with the arcittcure etc. It looks so much nicer than a huge, tacky Home Bargains sign etc haha

Some of the sweet shops and tea rooms look just lovely! You can't beat a nice old market town 😀
I totally agree!

Thanks Danielle, so glad you like them! 🙂
I totally agree with you, modern advertising and signage definitely doesn't look right in cute, old market towns!
