Description
A row of typical "net lofts" have been retained in the old town of Hastings. These traditional tall sheds were used by fishermen to store and dry their nets. A coat of black tar helped the horizontally positioned wooden boards to remain weatherproof; known as weatherboarding, this building style is typical of East Sussex and Kent.
