This is what London Road St Leonards looked like in the 1940’s amd 1950’s

These amazing old photos show what London Road, in St Leonards, looked like in days gone by.

They were shared by Leigh Kennedy of the Facebook group Historical Hastings. Much of the area is recognisable as it is today but who knew there was once an abattoir in London Road.

Pictures clearly show the overhead trolley bus cables. London Road is still a busy bus route today.
