  	HASTINGS IN WWII from http://www.victoriaseymour.com/ww2/index.html Not only did Hastings Old Town suffer during World War II, but also Hastings Town Centre suffered badly from the bombing and blast damage. The Town's first air – raid was at 7:15am on the 26 July 1940, when a single aircraft dropped 11 explosive bombs, several of which fell on the Cricket Ground, now Priory Meadow Shopping Centre. One would not have thought that this would have been regarded as a very strategic target but the German High Command apparently had access to some very old maps because the claim was made that there had been a successful raid on Hastings Harbour! Later more damage was done to the Cricket Ground when the railings surrounding it were taken as scrap to help the war effort. The first lone raid presaged four years of aerial onslaught with the month of September 1940 being particularly disastrous as far as the Town Centre was concerned. On the 14th, Linton Crescent, then on the 26th, two raids which resulted in a total of forty high explosive bombs being dropped in Queens Road, Nelson Road, Milward Road, and St Mary's Terrace. Three people were killed and there was widespread destruction. On the 30th September, a bomb hit the coping of the Plaza Cinema, today Yates Bar, and exploded in mid – air. It was the most devastating incident of the war in the Memorial area. People had been watching the aerial battle raging overhead and eight people were killed outright, and another six died later from their injuries. Many others received injuries of varying degrees of severity. Amongst those who had been standing at the Memorial and who was killed was Norman Kemp. He had been home on compassionate leave from the RAF to attend the funeral of his brother, who had been killed in the previous raid, when his Queens Road shop had received a direct hit. The blast from the bomb caused an extensive damage to properties in the town centre and the explosion blew out all four dials of the Memorial clock. The bombing continued. At the beginning of October more bombs were dropped in this area, one of them a direct hit on the Bedford public house in Queens Road and another destroying the WVS headquarters in Havelock Road. In the latter incident there were three fatalities, one of them a young girl whose body was found in the ruins of a Havelock Road office several days later. Copyright© Victoria Seymour 2012
