Lewes Pubs

Ever since the days when it was reconstructed as one of King Alfredís 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 Lewesí watering houses past and present. He explores the trivial, the unknown, the spooky, the unusual and the achievements that have taken place in the townís pubs. He also tells of the many characters that have frequented or run Lewesí public houses, including the pub that stands on the site of the UKís 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 townís taverns straight away.
