In Dec 1855, William D L Shadwell Esq of Hastings sold two messuages on the Beach near the Fishmarket for £1175 to Henry Stevenson of Hastings, innkeeper (AMS5681/64/1). Stevenson also purchased nearby stables from the executor of Thomas Daniel in Dec 1867 for £780 (AMS5681/64/2) The buildings were referred to as Cumberland Ho. and the 'Rising Sun' in a mortgage of 1881 (AMS5681/64/4).
