THE STADE is a shingle beach in HASTINGS Old Town, East Sussex, England.
It has been used for beaching boats for more than a thousand years. It is now home to Europe’s largest fleet of beach-launched fishing boats.
The word stade is a Saxon term meaning landing place.
The beach was originally a small landing area; hence the small footprint of the net shops. The building of the 1887 groyne at Rock a Nore and the 1896 harbour, however, stopped the eastward movement of shingle along the coast, which is the function of groynes. As a result, the Stade steadily grew seaward, providing new room for the fishing fleet and necessary amenities.
A famous and unique part of the old town on The Stade are the Net Sheds. These are tall black wooden sheds which were built to provide a weather proof store for the fishing gear made from natural materials to prevent them from rotting in wet weather. The sheds are tarred (hence the black colour) and weatherboarded.

The sheds were originally built on posts to allow the sea to go underneath, however the beach shingle has built up and the sea does not reach the huts anymore. The beach area, on which the sheds stand, built up after groynes were erected in 1834, however the limited space meant the sheds had to grow upwards, even though some sheds do have cellars.
Some say the the sheds were used for drying the nets, hence the height. Others argue that nets were actually dried on the beach, and the sheds were built for net storage – the height of the sheds appears to be due to limited ground space, and most of the sheds have multiple floors.
