Shoreham-by-Sea Pub Names
In the last century, several pubs were
demolished and rebuilt but they still kept their same names like the Bridge
Inn, or if they were rebuilt at a different location like the George, which
became the Royal George. The Schooner reverted to its old name after changing
it for a few months. It was then called The Ship and then renamed to something
else. The Buckingham applied to change it its name, but because it was
in a Conservation Area, Adur Council refused the new sign. The Waterside
Inn on Shoreham beach was previously called the Lady Jane and before that
it was called the Tudor. Although the Arundel Arms (now demolished) was
on the sign, it was always known as the Moke,
but nobody knows why? The Crabtree is sometimes known as the Crab. The
Marlipins Inn used to be called The Ship.
Late
17th century:
the following High Street
Inns were recorded in documents:
1. George (demolished
pre-WWII).
2. King's Arms
3. Ship (now
the Marlipins).
4. Castle (no
longer a pub of this name)
5. Garter (no
longer a pub of this name)
6. Dolphin (ceased
as a pub in 1875, building remains)
7. Star (not
the current Morning Star)
8. Fountain (replaced
by the Bridge Inn, which was in turn replaced by the New Bridge Inn, the
current pub).
1686
