The St. Leonards Archway was the Eastern boundary of St. Leonards. The view on page 339 is from the "Gossiping Photographer," containing a very interesting lot of excellent photographs, amusingly described, embracing Hastings and St. Leonards and the neighbourhood sixty years ago. From left to right, Grand Parade, begun 1831, Warrior Square, finished 1864, Eversfield Place, begun 1850, Verulam Buildings, begun 1834, White Rock Place, begun 1835-6, Carlisle Parade, begun 1850, Robertson Street, 1850.
(About 1864.)
This view shews the Drinking Fountain erected at the expense of the late Countess Waldegrave, and the house in the background on St. Michael's Rock, at the base of which is the present site of the Brassey Institute and the "Observer" Office, then a stonemason's yard belonging to the late Mr. George Winter. Holy Trinity Church was begun 1857, and opened 1858.
