Havelock Road was built on the spoil excavated during construction of the railway tunnels either side of Hastings Railway Station. Prior to its construction, the lower portion of the road had a waterwheel, water tank and donkey stand, these being associated with the nearby Priory Farm, adjacent to the Priory Stream[1]. During the late 1800s, it became the finance and commerce centre of the town with both estate agents and financial service companies occupying premises along the road, almost to the current day.
