Although there were no mainline trains running in East Sussex on Boxing Day – a railway service still ran, as the town’s West Hill Lift was open and the miniature railway was fully operational.

Kevin Boorman was on hand to snap these pictures as people took advantage of a bright, sunny, Boxing Day to enjoy local attractions in Hastings Old Town and on the seafront.

Local Morris dancing sides put on a display at Winkle Island, where a traditional Sussex Mummer’s Play was also performed.

Hastings Miniature Railway was running all day on Boxing Day and operating illuminated specials over the festive period.
