| HARE & HOUNDS - PORTLAND ROAD | |
 |
|
 |
This flint building dates to late
18th century. The pub has since knocked through in to the next door property. (yes they did buy it
first) "Hare & Hounds" - was
remodelled & extended (into adjoining property, I think) in the 1990s.
In 60s, the left-hand door opened into the smallest "snug" bar
you've ever seen - there was only just room for the door to open
into it. Landlords for many years in the 1960s & 1970s were Sam &
Nellie Brookes; landlord early 1990s Dennis Peters; landlord late
1990s Tony Hills I think. (contribution from Roger
Cloake) |

The Last Beer House in Worthing: An article from 1959 states that the Hare and Hounds, Portland road, was granted a wine licence at the Worthing Brewster sessions. The application made for the licensee by United Brewery who said "it was to bring the house more in line with present conditions. The present tendency was for the public house to be regarded as something of a club, and people who frequented them took ladies who did not drink beer". Thus the last Beer house in Worthing joined finally the rest of the pubs with assorted alcohol. |
