Hollington, Hastings

Hollington is a council estate and local government ward in the northwest of Hastings, in the Hastings district, in the county of East Sussex, England.

The area is believed to have been occupied since at least Roman times prior to becoming farmland and subsequently developed during the 1930s onwards.

[2] Hollington was the location of The Grove School, which was incorporated into The St Leonards Academy becoming known as the 'Darwell Campus'.

[6][7][8] The eventual lord of the manor became Thomas Eversfield of Uckfield, bringing the Eversfield family from their early Sussex beginnings to the Hastings area, where they would go on to play a prominent role for centuries.

[9][10] The school buildings were demolished circa 2017 and the land is earmarked for housing development.
