And darts in the mid 1980s - used to go there quite a lot. Had a really odd downstairs room though.

From what I've heard the new licensee is named Rigg hence the name change such as it is. I can't see the point but then I wouldn't use that pub all the time there is the Old Star, Welly and a fair few more pubs locally to drink in
This is now gone. My first pub.

The Golden Cross in ,er, Golden Cross is looking rather forlorn. Not sure how long it has been closed.
The pub in Ripe, ( can’t remember what it was called) is now houses.
The Rose Cottage Inn in Alciston has closed again.

The Montpelier Arms, Montpelier Place has closed. From tomorrow becoming a cafe serving brunches and pancakes.
We had many a great afternoon or evening there in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The sexist landlord would only hire attractive barmaids.
Another pub gone.

The Brickmakers Arms in Ridgewood, Uckfield closed in November & was sold at auction to the Hoogstraten family, so likely to be left to deteriorate for several months/years, then demolished to make way for a new housing development.
I also understand that The Ringles Cross pub at the north end of Uckfield is also currently closed, but there are rumours of new tenants.
On the positive side, while The Lamb at Piltdown on the A272 has been closed for several months, I understand that it is currently being refurbished to reopen again in February back in it's guise as The Piltdown Man.

The Sloop used to be my local in the 70s. Just looked up their facebook and they have been trying to build houses in the car park! Hopefully they fail, move on and someone else keeps it as a pub.
They were both owned by the same pub company and have now changed hands along with the St James, that is being refurbished very soon.
Was the end of the line for the number 1 bus

i travelled back up to Sussex for the Brickies farewell weekend. Met many friends from the past - including plenty of Brighton fans - over the two days. Despite it being a very sad occasion we all had a blast.
Final, last orders was a bit poignent mind.

Heard today that The Roebuck in Laughton has closed.
I don't know if it is Covid related, or for another reason.

Worked there one Christmas. No locals, only parties in the function room both lunchtime and evenings. Made a killing. Paid coach drivers to stop off on the way down and back to Eastbourne. Little old ladies paid over the top for 'home brewed' bottles of cider and mead not knowing I'd spent all morning taking the Merrydown labels off the bottles.
I learnt a lot from the landlord. For instance, all you can drink cabaret parties. Arrive at pub but landlord not available with tickets so have to buy first drink. Landlord arrives with tickets but only time to get one free drink as food is served. After food time for one drink as cabaret starts and no moving permitted. After cabaret time for one drink before last orders. Then bar reopens but all cash sales.
