Ever since the days when it was reconstructed as one of King Alfred’s burhs (fortified towns), Lewes has experienced a wealth of taverns, inns, alehouses, and public houses. Today the erstwhile county town of Sussex has a range of pubs that reflect this interesting, quirky, affluent yet also sometime fiercely independent and radical town. Author Kevin Newman takes the reader on a fascinating journey through Lewes watering houses past and present. He explores the trivial, the unknown, the spooky, the unusual and the achievements that have taken place in the town s pubs. He also tells of the many characters that have frequented or run Lewes public houses, including the pub that stands on the site of the UK s highest death toll from an avalanche. Lewes Pubs tells many fascinating tales and will make locals and visitors alike want to visit one of the town s taverns straight away.
