Great video, interesting, The night club in Marine Court was first called the Witch Doctor and later became the Cobweb.

Thank you Jim Bob, I live below the Burton 'Pyramid' memorial shown in your vid , beside the church . I was one of the painting contractors that painted Marine court in its present state a few years ago and its a great building . I was taken by one of the porters working there down into the committee rooms in the basement and there are pictures and photos and heaps of history about the building being built at the time . Very interesting indeed . Keep up your good work and the vids. Here's one local who loves em !!!.

Thanks for this interesting video. I was born in Hastings but like most people we take our local surroundings for granted and don't bother much with the history, well I didn't at the time. I left Hastings and the UK in 1981 to settle in France. By the way, as well as the Cobweb, there was another club/disco called the Witch Doctor and I remember going there several times.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The Witch Doctor name rings a bell with me. Bit before my time but I am sure my sister has mentioned it. Regards JB.

Never knew there was a tunnel between hotel and Masonic hall. In all the time I lived there I never visited those gardens. I remember snobbery associated with that area, certain folks would insist that you acknowledge their address was ‘Burtons St. Leonards’! Never thought about the reason Mercatoria was named as such, it was just where the playgroup was 🙄 Marine Court... Mike is refurbishing flats on the 8th floor at the moment... most of the residents used to be elderly, they had all their needs catered for so it was a very popular place to retire. It’s now a bit of a dumping ground used by the Council 😤 Thanks for that it was very interesting. M xx 😘
