Hastings's promenades, hotels and ruined castle lead these nineteenth-century prints by Rock & Co., the London firm whose small engraved views read like illustrated souvenirs of particular towns and excursions. At Hastings the views record Carlisle Parade, Pelham Place, the Queen's Hotel and Holy Trinity Church, approach the growing resort from the sea and along the Bohemia Road, and show the pier and memorials of later Victorian years. The firm's views also reach Arundel, Battle and Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare's birthplace offers a different kind of destination, and the Isle of Wight, with Newport and Carisbrooke.
