Key town centre shops still remain closed after Hastings hit by floods

HMV – the only mainstream outlet for music and film in the town is completely empty. A note on the door reads ‘we’ll be back’.

The Works, directly opposite, which stocks books, crafts and art supplies, is also closed with industrial dehumidifiers in place and a note in the window stating ‘We are closed due to major flood damage’ and directing people to ordering online or using the Eastbourne branch of the store.
