Carlisle, 24 Pelham Street, Hastings

This is the Pelham Arms in 1890 and earlier. The Carlisle Hotel (the back of the pub) in about 1924 trading under the name Carlisle Saloon. The pub has been rebuilt several times, the extension on the left hand side was added in 1920 and replaced the former beer garden. This view of the pub and its surroundings are now unrecognisable. The buildings to the right of the pub were demolished in 1930 when a new road and sea wall was built. The extension was also removed at this time and the pub was again rebuilt with flat roofs. The buildings to the left suffered bomb damage during WW2 and were all gone by the mid 1960s. After many years as a car park, this area is now occupied by a residential complex. The Carlisle is the only building in this photo to survive albeit in a different form.

Now simply called the Carlisle (regulars refer to it as the Carlie) it is a popular, friendly pub with live music (mostly heavy Rock) most weekends. There is a large function room with a second bar upstairs also with provision for live music. Please don't be put off by the appearance of the regulars (mostly bikers), they honestly are a great crowd and very friendly.

An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.

Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity. who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
