Map of the UK

St. Helens is an urban ward on the northern edge of Hastings in East Sussex, England, sitting a short distance from the town centre and coastline. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and later housing, local parades of shops and small green spaces that give some streets pleasant views across the town towards the English Channel.

The area has a quietly community‑minded feel: local groups and schools play a big part in daily life and many residents commute into the town’s seafront and harbour areas for work in tourism and fishing or to the wider Hastings economy. Historically the neighbourhood grew with Hastings’ 19th‑ and 20th‑century expansion, and that layered history is still visible in the streetscape and local civic amenities.
