Duke of Cornwall Inn, Post Office Passage, Hastings

Listed in Winding Street in 1858. The Duke of Cornwall became the Silver Dollar at some time after World War Two, but closed in the mid 1960s. The photo was taken from Winding Street looking towards the High Street. The pub was at Number 4. There is more history about the Pub here. ***

My parents Stan & Margery Hayward ran the pub from 1963 until it closed and was demolished, It stood in Post Office Passage at the end of Winding Street just to the right of the view in this photo, where the gate to the rear of the warden assisted flats now stands. It was a great little pub always busy at the week ends. They were listed in the 1966 telephone directory as "Hastings 1880" **

An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.

Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity. who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
