Union Row or Fishers Cottages ?
I have flagged the photo purporting to be Union Row as being suspect. Dissenting views most welcome !. I was thrown for a while by believing references to theatre exits into UR, which I suspect were Union Street (an alley before 19th century widening). I've left details in the gallery, but throw it ...

I think Castle St/Breeds Place - Beach Terrace being on the other side of the 'road' rather than in rough alignment.

Re: Henry Rose, Grocer in Queens Road
A mention of no. 22 - but not a grocer https://www.1066.net/hastings/queens_road_hastings/ No mention, but flavour of Queens Rd - the first pic has QR in mid-shot. Last on right is almost to your numbers ... I think. No shop fronts at that stage. https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/exploring-the-ea...

Re: Dobell and Bros., Clockmakers
On Google streetview number 21 is TinTins bar - shabby chic, in that the original curved window structure and mosaic foyer seem to be in place.

Re: 124 Old London Road
Too young, yes indeed. Would have travelled up Old London Road a few times, but can certainly place being there to visit Fernbank when younger brother was born in 1962 - I was not yet 4 !. This site will be of interest, but I found it a bit higgledy-piggledy. There are mentions of Clarence Villa and...

Re: 124 Old London Road
I was born behind 'Clarence Villa', but not too long before it was demolished.
