Wellington Square was the first part of the modern town centre to be built. The gardens in the centre were originally restricted to residents use only. In the 1930s the square became used as a terminus for country buses. Railings from around the garden in the centre of Wellington Square were taken for scrap metal in the Second World War http://www.1066online.co.uk/hastings-history/hastings-town/hastings-town-history.htm
