Description
In this second volume of a comprehensive history of pubs in and around Bexhill-on-Sea, the authors cover the former villages of Sidley and Little Common. Now suburbs of Bexhill, these two settlements have their own culture and character, being steeped in rural traditions, and (exploiting their maritime proximity) they were infamous for smuggling. The New Inn (formerly Five Bells) at Sidley. The Wheatsheaf Inn at Little Common, The Bull near Galley Hill and The Star at Normans Bay have a rich history stretching back hundreds of years. Several of the featured pubs were coaching inns for wayfarers, and later as hotels catering for holidaymakers and golfers (also included are the golf clubhouses and other sporting and social clubs).
You are sure to enjoy this book, the product of intricate research by the authors.
