Framed Print of Caves at Hastings: the Saloon, 1895. Creator: Unknown
Caves at Hastings: the Saloon, 1895. [As the] sandstone is of the soft quality common in the district which the geologists call the "Hastings Beds, "...it is not surprising to find the cliffs at Hastings honeycombed by caves...To-day the only ones known to visitors are the "St. Clement's Caves, " which lie under the West Hill...They appear to have been discovered some time in the twenties of the present century, by a Mr. Scott...It is said that in digging the foundations for a summer-house at the end of his garden the ground suddenly gave way, and the workmen dropped into a cave...[In] about 1830, "The Caves" were leased to a Mr. Golding, who excavated very extensively, and made of them a show-place for visitors. The earliest "Guide" in which their attractions are mentioned is one dated 1835...In summer, they were opened to the public once a fortnight, and in winter once a month, the darkness being dispelled by "two hundred candles." Illuminations for a private party cost thirty shillings, but on public days the charge per head was sixpence. Mr. Golding...cut out the large pillared "saloon, " a "Cave of Harmony, " in which generations of trippers have danced and flirted'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
