LETTER: Looking for pub information
It dated from 1866 and was destroyed by bombing on March 13, 1941.
The Littlehampton Gazette, on March 14, 1941, ran the story with a photo of the devastation. No other image of the pub has yet been found.

Hide AdI attach a copy of that photo. Its location was close to what is now Wick Street’s junction with West Way.
The last landlord, a Mr Cochrane, had only been there for a couple of months before the bomb dropped.
Prior to that, Alfred Harry Twine had run the place for some ten years. The Wick Bowling Club had its HQ there, I believe.
If anyone has any information or photos relating to the pub, I’d love to hear from them. My email is [email protected]
