Hastings - Pond Tea Towel

This Hastings tea towel features artwork by Edward Pond (1929–2012), one of Britain’s most recognisable graphic artists and a key contributor to British Rail’s Network SouthEast poster series of the late 1980s. His work is known for bold colour, strong graphic structure, and a clear sense of place.

The design depicts Hastings, focusing on the town’s iconic fishing boats and shoreline. Pond’s montage-style composition uses simplified forms and striking contrasts of deep blue, sandy yellow, and pale sky to celebrate Hastings as a working seaside town with a strong maritime identity.

Originally created to promote rail travel, Edward Pond’s Network SouthEast posters are now highly collectible. This Hastings Edward Pond tea towel brings that celebrated poster style into the home, combining destination-led storytelling with everyday practicality.

Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, this tea towel is designed for regular kitchen use while preserving the visual impact of Pond’s original artwork.
