Yes, I was told that it was a Quaker(?) town, and they banned the building of pubs on the High Street.Isn't it some religious constraint from times past ? the lack of pubs in Heathfield town
Changed recently to Shell… but yes lack of pubs or good pubs - hence I’ve moved your wayPretty sure it's ESSO currently ( ICBW )
Might explain a few getting lost
Wasn’t in the high street though. I’d been told the high street drinking thing too. But could be a myth… I’m sure you’ll know bestThat is an urban myth. There was a strong temperance movement in the town. But there was also a pub in the middle of the town - The Heathfield Hotel (where sainsburys is now). This was demolished in the early 80's and never replaced.
