where was Red Lane in Hastings
« on: Saturday 13 September 14 16:06 BST (UK) »
I have seen in the baptism register for my ancestors that they were living at 6 Red Lane Hastings, this was in the St Mary In The Castle register.
It does not appear to exist anymore so does anyone know if it still exists under a new name or if it has disappeared.

From  http://www.1066online.co.uk/hastings-history/st-leonards/st-leonards-history.htm

Harrow Lane
Previously named Red Lane, probably due to the quarry/brickyard that was situated at the top.

The last census links a couple of properties in Red Lane to Harrow Lane.
