The America Ground: 81/2 acres of Hastings town centre that in the
early nineteenth century was an open section of beach, apparently
beyond the borough boundary and with no obvious owner. Free from
the rules of local authority and taxes, this almost lawless area
was gradually occupied by a thousand or more people, many of them
squatters, who lived and worked there - until they were all evicted
by the government in 1835. This is the story of that beach, which
became almost 'independent' of the ancient town (like America had
of England), but ultimately played a crucial role in expanding the
old fishing port into a modern seaside resort.
