Description
Half Sovereign Cottage is an upturned boat hull cut clean in half. Sometimes, the law-enforcing Preventive Men sawed boats asunder like this in their efforts to look for hidden goods. Some of the confiscated, sawn-up boats were then used to make houses on the beach. Some are in use as shops, selling fish and other seaside goods, this one is next to the Hastings Fishermens Museum.
Rock-a-Nore is an urban area of Hastings, stretching from the Old Town area along Rock-a-Nore Road between the cliffs and the beach, The Stade. Its name was officially adopted in 1859 and derives from a former building "lyinge to the Mayne Rock against the north"
Hastings is a town and borough in the county of East Sussex on the south coast of England famous for it's battle of 1066 when William of Normandy defeated and killed Harold Godwinson, the last Saxon King of England, destroying his army and opening England to the Norman conquest.
