90, 90A AND 90B, HIGH STREET

The buildings at 90, 90A and 90B High Street are likely of 15th-century origin, although they have an 18th-century stuccoed front with a parapet. The buildings are two storeys high and three windows wide, with windows spaced widely apart. The first floor has three-light sash windows with glazing bars in No 90B, and on the ground floor, No 90 and 90A have pilastered doorcases with cornices; No 90A has reeded pilasters and frieze, while No 90 has a modern bow window. No 90B has an early 19th-century shop front with pilasters and a dentilled cornice, featuring plate glass. The first floor slightly overhangs with a moulded bressumer. A steep-pitched tile roof with a hipped end is present, along with a brick chimney stack. The rear elevation features rendered surfaces and one gable. Internally, rooms on the ground and first floors have fielded panelling and moulded cornices. There is a staircase with turned balusters and a moulded string. The attic contains a roof with an octagonal king post, characterised by a moulded capital and base. A blue plaque on the front of No 90 commemorates the establishment of the first Hastings Old Bank here in 1791. The rear elevation is rendered with one gable. The buildings form a group with the other listed buildings along High Street, up to and including No 118.
