[Albion] The "Joe Marler is a Seagull" thread

Distinct lack of pub s

Only one pub in Heathfield town, that's the Heathfield Tavern.
Pubs in nearby Old Heathfield, Waldron, Maynards Green, and Cross in Hand though.

Isn't it some religious constraint from times past ? the lack of pubs in Heathfield town

Yes, I was told that it was a Quaker(?) town, and they banned the building of pubs on the High Street.

That 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.

Pretty sure it's ESSO currently ( ICBW )
Might explain a few getting lost

Changed recently to Shell… but yes lack of pubs or good pubs - hence I’ve moved your way

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 best

As you are are a Heathfield resident, I bow to your superior knowledge.

It's my favourite pub too, and the owner, Richard, is a big Albion fan

Loving that we have a Heathfield thread!!

 

[Jam The Man]

Thought it was common knowledge that he was a fan.
His photo was also up on the wall in the ‘all-too-short-lived’ Sports Bar at the Amex.
