South Street

Latest South Street posts

• The high street from Boots corner down to South Street doesn't appear on street view. It also stops just at the junction of Court Road. So no-one can check out the pavement situation outside Bill's !


• The Rook Inn is hosting Lewes Football Club's inaugural beer festival this evening.
  
  A number of new and familiar ales will be on tap, brewed both locally and farther afield, and a special selection of gourmet food will be available too.
  
  All the ales will be on sale at £2.50 per pint, and the entry price of £5 includes a souvenir pint glass which is being produced exclusively for the occasion.
  
  Some of the beers making an appearance include:
  
  Dark Star Brewing Co, Horsham: Porter (5.5%) - a full flavoured beer brewed to an old established recipe using a blend of black and brown malts.
  Northumberland Brewery, Bedlington: Legends of the Tyne (4%)
  Lytham Brewery, Lytham St Annes: Royal (4.4%) - a fuller bodied English ale with a crisp, fruity aroma and a smooth, dry finish
  Sawbridgeworth Brewery, Herts: SelhurstPark Flyer (3.8%) - amber coloured, easy drinking session bitter with a crisp edge
  Rectory Ales, Hassocks: Rector's Revenge (5%)
  Rectory Ales, Hassocks: Light Relief (4.5%)
  Harveys will of course be well represented whilst the club are still hoping to source a number of other brews.
  The club hopes to run similar events over the coming months if this event proves a success, so come down to the Dripping Pan and show your support for the Rooks - as well as having a few pints into the bargain.
  
  The Festival kicks off from 5pm and tickets priced £5 (£6 on the door) are available from the Gardners Arms in Cliffe High Street, the Snowdrop in South Street, and Lewes Tourist Office.
  
  
  


• Has anyone else noticed that in order to get anywhere in Lewes at the moment is like taking part in an episode of total wipeout.
  I have just walked along the Offham road up into Fisher street then down School Hill and the Cliffe. It is terrible. If traffic cones were £1 coins I'd be loaded. You are constantly walking under scaffold everwhere and tripping over sandwich boards. I was under the impression that the boards need some sort of permission to be on the street? 1st prize for the best placed board goes to the Snowdrop. It is placed on the junction of Cliffe high street, South Street and Malling Street. By on the junction I mean on the pavement blocking the view from the Cliffe exit down South Street.
  Any views?
  
  


• And of course residents of South Street have only been informed today that because of the tunnel closure as well as the high street closure, all traffic at night is being diverted via South Street for the duration of the BT works. Sleep well!


• I like the semi-detached dwellings down Grange Road, modern architecture at it's finest, i agree that the properties down South Street are fantastic! We need a bit more 'good quality' modern design in Lewes, the town must carry on evolving or it will stagnate and die.
