Hare & Hounds, 405 Old London Road, Ore, Hastings

Hastings pub history index

There has been a Hare and Hounds in Ore since the 1770s and perhaps longer. It was originally a coaching inn and the first theatre in the Hastings area was built next door. Both the pub and the theatre was destroyed by fire in 1867. A new Hare and Hounds was built shortly after to a smaller scale slightly south of the original. At 385 Old London Road by 1938. It closed in 2006. ***

The plaque was first installed in a public shelter and moved to a nearby wall when the shelter was demolished in the 1970s. It's about 50 yards to the North of the pub on the other side of Saxon Road.
