Offa Road
From Historical Hastings
Prior to the development of a supermarket and toilet block on Fairlight Road in the 1970s, the lower portion of Offa Road (west side) was occupied by an orchard and the village blacksmith with no vehicular access out of the bottom of the unnmade road, which quite often washed out across Old London Road after heavy rainfall[1], certainly through the 1950s. The aforementioned development originally intended to incorporate 5 lock-up shops on the triangular site and the supermarket with a double-levelled car-park on the roof, but this was refused[2]
