The Windsor in Church Street, Brighton

What I remember about the Windsor is that they used to have the dart board next to the door for the gents. Very easy to catch a stray arrer on the way back out.

Me too.This pub rocked.Worked there when Scriney owned it.Had a bottle and jug,saloon,private and public bar.I was made to take proper toilet rolls out of the public bar bogs because,according to the landlord,his customers stole them.The bar billiards table was a killer,what with the odd angles built into it and all.And you could come out of the pub and go straight to the chippy,Sadlers,I believe.

Point of order; the pub was in West Hove,a good 300 yards from Portslade.

Sad to see the horrid little houses built on a site where three generations of wombats went to drink.

[OzMike]

All of them, they don't really do pubs here, they are so far away and few in number.Beer belly has gone now! shouldn't complain but miss the atmosphere of a good old british boozer.

 

[Greyrun]

Back in the 60/70s the Snipe was a decent pub.

That's true - I remember that now.

The thing about The Windsor that sticks in my mind was that it had The Velvet Underground on the jukebox. Must have been one of the only pubs in Britain to claim that.

 

[Rowdey]

Just remebered The Belvedere - First pub i ever got a drink in.

Back then as a 15 y/old who was working next door in the 'Miami Dolphins' chippie (between it and the Fortune Of War) it seemed a proper hard rockers boozer; quite different to what it became in many guises afterwards.

At least as the Shark Bar, it got in The Sun as the bar having served most pints in one (Bank Holiday) day.
Couldn't even say what it's called now..(?)

How long ago was this ? A good girl-friend used to work the bar there - 'Hicky' Around early/mid nineties. Tall, thin & blonde.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

all of them in Shoreham over the past 16 years, some shit some great, all sadly missed at the annual "Shoreham Pub Crawl" day during the Xmas period.

Have done the xmas pub crawl quite a number of times, including the minutes silence by the site of the old Kings Head.

I do remember the Kings head, from passing by it every friday night on my way to the scouts, but I don't think I ever drank in there (maybe once). In my mind it was a dark, smokey place, a bit like an old Dickensian Inn, but my memory has probably been modified over the years.

Oh, this would have been 1977,78, 79ish. Used to drink in the place a fair bit then.
