Looking for anyone who lived in Tin Town from 1955 until it was demolished in 1960.
I lived in number 14 during that time, after 1960 everyone was moved all over Hastings many I never heard of again, if you were there would love to hear your stories of what you remember
i.e The woodyard, the ORE railway bridge, the gangs we played with, Elpinstone Junior School days and anything I may have forgotten....in anticipation
