Ore, a former village, is a suburb and (smaller) Local Government Ward of the urban area of the town of Hastings in East Sussex. It is located to the north-east of the town on the main road to Rye (the coastal A259 road). It is the largest suburb of Hastings.
The parish church in the village centre is Christ Church, and the village also features a Seventh-day Adventist Church, a Salvation Army unit and a Methodist church. Whilst commonly known as "Clifton Road Methodist", this church is actually named after St Helen. Ore also contains a small shopping centre. Hillcrest school is in the nearby Red Lake district of Ore.
In the part of Ore known as St Helens stands a second Anglican church dedicated to St Helen. The church was built in 1868, and its predecessor, an ancient church dating from the reign of Edward III, now stands in ruins nearby. Hastings Cemetery is also located in the St Helens area of Ore.
[edit] Rail transport
Ore railway station (approximately one mile distant from Ore village) lies on the Marshlink Line; here also is the maintenance depot for the trains from London, and the coast (via the East Coastway Line and Hastings Line). Ore station lies north of Hastings station and south of Three Oaks (formerly Three Oaks and Guestling Halt). For most of the day, Ore is the eastern end of an hourly stopping service from and to Brighton via Eastbourne and Hastings. East of Ore, the Marshlink Line is served by an hourly Brighton to Ashford international express service calling at Ore only during peak hours. For the rest of the day, passengers travelling from and to stations east of Ore must travel via Hastings.
