- I made this film when I first moved to St Leonards-on-Sea, and fell in love with the place. It's a hymn to its eccentric, down-at-heel charms. I made it with Maxy Bianco, with a soundtrack generously provided by Andrew Weatherall and Nina Walsh, and also the banjo player who lived on the street corner.

that was about the best 'tribute' to our town I've seen on YT. Fascinating. The line that got me 'tasteful, expensive minimal shops popping up worryingly here and there, and the feeling all the grotty enchanted stuff might vanish in a wisp of smoke and gentrification'
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much I`m an old lady now born here in Hastings living in St Leonards and unfortunately housebound, so this did my heart good.
Very, very lovely. Excellent little film and I enjoyed the John Cooper Clark style narration too. Loved the reference to sometimes looking like you're "living in a dream" Well done!
This is fabulous.
Excellent piece of work - beautiful.
Indeed. I went to Hastings in 1996-1997 on my English language academic year and then I lived in Bexhill with my first bf, and despite of me now living in Suffolk, I will always return to my first home of Hastings, at least 3 times a year. Can't wait to go back next week
Amazing work. Thank you.
Wonderful, thank you. You've captured its soul as we know and love it.
I miss Hastings, my first home. So home sick
This is a mesmerising watch. So good.
This is the best and most realistic portrayal of St Leonards that I have seen.
Thank you.
I’ve only watched 30 seconds of this and I love it already - sterling work.
I came here from South London 22 years ago and wouldn't want to live anywhere else now!
This is a great view of this very special place! London or here are the only places I would want to live. 🤗 🌈
Blown away, the words that were missing to articulate Crowley's curse have been discovered
Brilliant summary. I share your feelings.
I live in Hastings originally from London. What a powerful video and yes the curse is set upon me.
HAHAHAHA..Failed in London, tried Hastings. Spells..
Me too. I'm still trying to find a mutual exchange. Someone in Hastings wanting Suffolk
Truly wondrous!
What a great video! I love Hasting and St Leonards, i want to live there something keeps making me return back month after month until i finally live there :)
Me too. I'm terribly homesick
move here it's ace
Very well done I certainly enjoyed your words about the town I live in born in and we have had our problems but also a feeling of warmth I love this town when away it’s good to be back
I was looking for Jean Smith and found this. There is something about the light on the sea in Hastings. You captured it briefly in the view down the hill to the sparkling ocean. Once born by the ocean, you always come back, and stay as long as you can.
It's so soooo good ❤❤❤❤❤
A joy to view!
This is great. The quality is amazing.
Totally captures Hastings! Evocative and beautiful, thank you so much!
my pleasure - watch out for the next instalment coming soon ...
The video content is so excellent, congratulations
My town :) great watch
Great piece.
Fantastic.
wonderful thankyou
Michael, you need to do many more of these, melancholy Mesmer. You are rather jolly good at this and you also seem to have found Crowley's exorcist steps 09:55. More please.
got another spookier one in the pipeline
Great, can't wait! @@michaelsmith-wr4tq
That was good xxx
RE: Crowley curse... take a pebble from the beach and break the curse. If you can call it that! I think it's a magical place.
People also used to say you had to kiss the winkle on winkle island to break the curse.
Not just a pebble. It has to be a hag stone. A stone with a hole through the middle.
@@RyakkiBaka I have one. Keep going back though...
Throw a hag stone into the sea , then you can leave .
Please, whereabouts is that market lane please?
It's called George Street. It runs parallel to the coast road at the east end of Hastings.
it runs behind the library and the Observer Building but is not used that often - though they do nice one offs at festivals, exhibitions and so on
