Three photographs of Hastings Harbour Arm during Storm Doris in February 2017. As of 2019, this scene has changed now as the Harbour Arm has received significant reinforcement in the form of concrete and granite blocks. More information about the…
These photographs of Hastings beach at low tide were taken in 2011. I haven’t been able to take many photos recently so I’ve started trawling through old photos to see if any are better on a second viewing. I should…
