8 Sussex Drinker: Spring 2021 Book Review Let me tell you a story By Bob Barton Like most CAMRA members, I don’t just go to the pub for a decent pint. I also love the conversation with friends and strangers, being able to relax in a hub of the community and, most of all, I enjoy discovering stories. This led me to wonder-- if they could talk--what stories would pubs tell about themselves and their locality? I’ve attempted to answer that question in my book Unusual Pubs, Amazing Stories. The result is a pub guide with a difference, excellent ales when I visited, has a story you featuring 120 hostelries you can visit all over couldn’t make up. How many other pubs Britain, Covid-19 lockdowns permitting. have had previous lives as a pump-house, There are stories from folklore and history, public toilet, antique shop and—most tales of notoriety and celebrity—such as poignant of all—municipal soup kitchen? John Lennon’s student local and a pub once owned by the Kray twins—and lots more. I have used the cosy Fountain Inn at Ashurst to illustrate Hilaire Belloc’s 1912 book ‘The Four Men – a Farrago’. Written by the man who said “when you have lost your inns, drown your empty selves for you will have lost the last of England”, it’s a marathon pub crawl on foot across Sussex. Combined with a moral illustrating how an individual changes through life. Like Belloc, I left the Fountain (after pints of Bedlam Golden), feeling happy, carefree and up for a hike to the next pub. Hastings is full of great hostelries. I chose to write about the Stag Inn in the Old Town (apart from the fact it’s so historic) because Interior of Rye Waterworks Micropub, showing it is a focal point of the annual Jack-in-the brick surrounds for soup vats, now being used Green festival.

So intimidating were they that the officials were forced to retreat. At the Tiger Inn, East Dean, it was a fellow customer who enlightened me. He made me realise what a fool I had been walking on the nearby snow-covered cliffs. Never was a pint of Long Man Long Blonde more restorative as that day. Thankfully, my research for the book was completed before the first lockdown. But I can’t wait to return to Sussex to re-visit The Tiger Inn at East Dean, reached by Bob after these places and find more pubs to write a dodgy cliff walk through deep snow. about.

He was also a very knowledgeable pub historian especially in and around Chichester. Lester was a great raconteur who could tell great tales of his experiences in the RAF and on the racing circuit and of the pubs he had been in and the people he had met. Some of his friends have ben reminiscing about Lester’s tales and recall the occasion of a visit to the Smack Inn, Whitstable in May, 1993 (it sold so much Shepherd Neame, Master Brew that it had two handpumps serving it, at any-one- time). Lester spotted a local “good- old-boy” and sought to engage him in conversation. Much to his surprise and to the amusement of the landlord (and his friends) Lester couldn’t get a word in as the local monopolised the conversation. Not a common occurrence! His family and friends in BLOSSOM (Bottom left Of Sussex, South Of Midhurst) will miss him greatly but be glad to have known one of life’s true I got to know Lester after the local branch companions. was formed in Chichester in 1974.

12 Sussex Drinker: Spring 2021 Obituaries Bill Layton When CAMRA set up the website which has details of all pubs and their beers, Bill undertook to visit all the pubs in Hastings and St Leonards to collect their details. His bus pass had plenty of use and he did an excellent job much of which has remained little changed today. Having completed that task he announced that he was ‘retiring’ from ‘active service’ and would meet up with the other members only when they visited his favourite Tower and other nearby pubs. We marked the occasion by presenting him with a certificate to ‘Bill Bl**dy H*rv*y’s Layton’ at a social in the Tower and buying him drinks all evening. Bill was BLO for a brewery no longer in existence based in Battle called Fallen Angel, mostly producing bottled beer sold at markets, etc., (nothing to do with current Battle Brewery).

Bill Layton of St. Leonards died at the end of October, Bill had been an active member of CAMRA who until he could no longer make it was always to be found offering assistance at beer festivals. He was a bar manager at the inaugural Eastbourne Beer Festival in 2002, his comprehensive knowledge of beers proving an asset. The CAMRA policy to allow tasters at beer festivals appalled Bill, he would say, ‘We are here to sell the stuff, not give it away’. He had strong views about which beers and breweries he liked, which earned him the nickname ‘Bloody Harvey’s’. 13 Sussex Drinker: Spring 2021 Obituaries Martyn Apps idiosyncratic performances in running the meat raffle at the Albatross Club or seeing him proudly welcoming people to the Club, particularly at beer festival time. For CAMRA he was a fixture at Eastbourne Beer festivals where his knowledge of a wide range of beers was much appreciated and he was a regular at the setting up and taking down times. His down to earth approach was always characterised by an attitude of ‘just getting the job done’. We will all miss you Martyn, Rest in Peace.
