I wondered about that, especially as the newer pedestrianised precinct now seems to form of the "High Street". I was hoping Julia would have some more information or be able to process any other replies off-list in time for a Saturday. The significance of Saturday is that my husband usually gets a four pot (now a metric pot equivalent to just over 4 pints) of the Harvey's Armada or their seasonal (monthly) ale but unfortunately the seasonal ale for the next few weeks isn't to his taste so its a case of strike while the "Kiss" is brewing or possibly waiting until his fickle taste returns to Armada or best bitter! I should be fair to myself and say that in his youth my father was told to get an outside job and drove for Cantrell and Cochranes for a couple of years before being told to get an inside job and my husband is a football referee who knows his real ales. My knowledge of Kent by churches and pubs, and Sussex by pubs, breweries and football pitches is because of my associates not my drinking or sporting habits! Look forward to hearing from you both Tigger

There is, in the Library of the Sussex Archaeological Society, Barbican House, in Lewes High St, a copy of a survey of the properties in the High Street, over a very long period - in some cases, (if memory serves), from the the 17th Century to the mid-19th, possibly even later. It shows the names of owners, the function(s) of each building, and sometimes the rent. Anyone who intends to visit should try phoning first, as non-members will not be admitted unless there is a Librarian present. The number is 01273 405 738. Non-members are expected to make a small donation. By the way, the pedestrianised part is Cliffe High St, which is across the river from Lewes High St. The bit in between used to be called School Hill, but now seems to be an extension of Lewes High St. Mike Snatt 4711 ----- Original Message ----- From: TiggerRadlett@aol.com To: helen.holmes@jcu.edu.au ; sfhg@rootsweb.com Cc: JULIARUTTER@aol.com Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 12:27 AM Subject: Re: [SFHG] Lewes I wondered about that, especially as the newer pedestrianised precinct now seems to form of the "High Street".
