Hello all.
I'm trying to find pictures of the old the red white and blue pub - opposite the All Saints as i'm trying to restore it. It's a long shot - but can anyone help?
I have a one from the Reeves Archive and another from online. I thought - it being a pub there might be a few more.
thanks

Also have a look at Lewes Past on Facebook. Great way of accessing old, personal, Lewes photos.

If you haven't had any luck I know the plans for the conversion to green tiled frontages and refits for all United Ales pubs exist. I've seen the ones for Brighton, would guess the Lewes ones will either be in the keep falmer, or across the road in the library archive

My nan used to own it and ran it as a boarding house mainly for jockeys.We lived next door at number 16 and there used to be a link doorway between the two. The basements also used to be linked and ran fom 16, 17 to 18 Friars walk. George's Dad used to live in a "cave" at the bottom of no.18. I can remember the inside well with the massive dining room and the cupboard above the back corridor.Sorry no pictures just memories.
