The Street Names of Lewes, by L. S. Davey, published 1961 (The Friends of Lewes Society) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/502863][Lib/502863]

This is a useful compilation of interest to all who know Lewes whether as residents or visitors. It contains a good deal of local history not easily acquired elsewhere. In future editions the addition of a modern map or even a rough sketch of Lewes showing the Streets named would be an improvement and the Index might be extended to include names mentioned only in the text, such as "Pinwell" and "Millers Walk."

Lewes once had at least seven breweries and seventy inns, and this book (a revised edition of Leslie Davey's original work of 1977) traces those long-gone, the many sturdy survivors and a sprinkling of recent additions.
A map of 1890 shows 66 pubs against just 21 today, the newest addition being the John Harvey Tavern in Cliffe. Attractively presented, this is a fine inspiration for all pub-crawlers of an historical bent.
