Trevor Arms, Glynde

[PeterT]

That‘s good news and to NSC for being the bearers of it!

Yes! Thank you @Terry Butcher Tribute Act for this. We used to end up there almost every summer Thursday night for 20 years after a bike ride over the Downs.

My mate is behind this. He's a great businessman and an absolutely top guy to boot, no doubts this will be a great success. Can't wait!

As the OP from eight years (!) ago, that's great news. Isn't there a micro pub on the station these days too?

I'm pretty sure somebody posted at least two identical threads about it a few weeks ago.

This is WONDERFUL News. I so loved The Trevor. I played cricket just out of Glynde for many years and was drinking in there from the age of 15, sorry 18.

It's made my day hearing that. I loved that place.

Great stuff. A great place to start or end a good walk.

Round the beer garden.

Yeah, nice walk from Lewes over Mount Caburn, then catch the train back.

Holds a special place in my childhood memories. Going to dad’s cricket matches there on the other side of the railway line. If I remember correctly; trying to fish the ball out of the weed/rush stream after a 4/6, trying to get into the open air swimming pool but it was always locked, and a fairly decent kids play park with swings and roundabouts and all. Then… over to the pub for post match beers with the 2 XI’s and ginger beer for me and my brother and sister (I may have even got a half pint of Harvey’s shandy in the later years). At my young age, the beer garden was just massive! Did it have some apple trees in it? Then there was the mad rush to finish off drinks and get to the last Westbound train back to London Road!

Did you play at that lovely little Cricket pitch further up the road set in the estate?

 

[Gwylan]

Top news. Loved the Trevor, a perfect place to end a walk/cycle ride.

A wonder how long "a few weeks" is; it would be great to have a drink there this summer

Is this an Only With Love venture?

Yes, that was the one. I used to camp there each year and I played many a match at that venue. Special place with many memories. I first played there when I was 12 and was stumped by an 80 year old wicket keeper, Bill Bleach (RIP- obviously).

In 1992 I took my best ever bowling figures there. 9 for 15. It was the entire opposition team because one batsman had an argument at tea and went off in a huff.

Brian and Nancy Taylor owned the Trevor. I don't think Brian's heart was in it after Nancy passed away. They were such a lovely couple and well thought of in the area. The Trev has a very special place in my own life and I'm glowing at the news it's back.

I played there once against a team which included The Dark Lord himself Bassam, who’s home ground was that? Iirc there were Alpacas in the adjoining field

Glynde rocketing from ZERO pubs to TWO in a matter of months is excellent, at this expansion rate there'll be more pubs than houses in a few years

I think he played for Stanmer Village or some such side. The team who played there were the BBOBS. The ground eventually went back to the manor in the early 2000s. It's all part of the estate now.

I had a look on Google Maps and the square has disappeared but the little Wooden Changing Room still seems to be there, i guess that site is where they have The Live Supreme Festival?

That's the one. I haven't been in the field since 2009. I'm surprised, but happy, the pavilion remains.

There used to be a camel in the field over the road
