[Sussex] Closed pubs of Sussex

[Eric Potts]

Spread Eagle , Albion Hill , Brighton. Used to be handy for cheap electrical goods and Bolivian marching powder.

It wasn't that long ago that we had 9 pubs in Haywards Heath.

We now have 3.

As many as Lindfield has but 6-7x the population ��

For many years before that, it was called The Stewards Enquiry.

The main problem is that's miles from a populace, and thesedays the vast majority of people adhere to the drink drive laws.

When it was the Stewards Enquiry, it was owned (or run) by the identical twin brother of a chap (Peter something) who owned the Chalk Pit Inn at Lewes... which is another one that is now closed as a pub albeit is still open as a curry house...

I believe that the Rose Cottage in Alciston has reopened [emoji106]

Correct. I had a drink in there a couple of weeks ago.

Lindfield has 4.

Bent arms, Stand up, Red Lion and the Witch.

 

[Nitram]

Old England Bar, Worthing.

I'm still mourning the closure of the Three Crowns in East Preston in 1997.

Including BG...

Drove past the Haywagon and the Half Moon over Hartfield way today. Both closed.

Didn't know the Haywagon had shut, further along the 3 Crowns in Ashurstwood has been shut a while.

The Junction and the Kings Head in Burgess Hill. Latter in particular used to have some decent bands on a Friday night.

And the Royal George

 

[Billy Seagull]

Tally Ho in Eastbourne, now the Two Bulls Steakhouse. The Bridge in Newhaven looks pretty much closed now, plenty of others in Newhaven too, including the Newfield where I had my first pint, well underage, in the 80s.

But both dire pubs!

Fair point

Really! Think you need to take into account changing habits of the punters. Savannah, Orange Square, the Lockhart Tavern and I think a couple of others.

 

[Brighton Mod]

Foresters Arms,East Hoathly, closed. Many more to go I expect, drive past some on a Friday night only half a dozen drinkers in, its the end of an era, as many more will go.

4 in Cuckfield, too - an Independent State of only 4,000.

The Bridge is currently being refurbished, not sure if it's going to be a pub again or flats, but I have seen Harvey's vans outside.
I think 4 pubs in Newhaven have closed since I moved here in 2001.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Anyone know what is happening to the Ship Inn on the Lewes to Uckfield road? Closed a few years back and seems empty since then. Not big enough for a 'chain' pub (Toby etc) but at the same time not been lived in as far as I can see.

If that’s the old stewards enquiry it’s now a private house.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Drove past the Haywagon and the Half Moon over Hartfield way today. Both closed.

I knew the Haywagon had gone but not the Half Moon?

Isn’t it owned by the Del la Warrs? Back when I used to drink there it was run by one of the family, Lady Arabella.

She ran an interesting boozer in her own ‘unique’ way.
