Nathan Dylan Goodwin
Nathan Goodwin was born and raised in Hastings, following several generations of his family before him. Schooled in the town, he worked there for a number of years and knows the town well. He left to live in Southern France for a year and then spent two years studying in Manchester, followed by further study at Canterbury Christ Church University where he achieved an Honours degree in Radio, Film and Television Studies. He is currently studying part-time for a further Honours degree in History.This book is an impassioned response to his life-long personal interest in wartime Hastings. He always listened to his elders’ anecdotes intently and felt strongly that the town’s story should be recorded, not least for future generations. His other interests include local studies generally, genealogy, reading, writing, film and travelling.
