| Hastings Tram on the Hastings to Bexhill route. Trams went in the late 1920s but there is still evidence, include a section of track in wooden setts and a crossover exposed in recent road resurfacing. |

Hastings trams started running in 1905, using a narrow gauge of 3ft 6ins. The Bexhill route was converted to trolleybus running in 1928, and the last trams ran in 1929. |

I don't think the pier at St Leonard's was ever known as 'Palace Pier' - it was opened in 1891, cut in half during WW2 and bombed in October 1940. The remains were removed in 1951. |

In searching the Hastings Trams, a picture of a ticket marked Palace Pier was seen. |

It was the American Palace Pier (often referred to as Palace pier for short). After a refurbishment it was known as The New Palace Pier. |
