Norman Hotel, 1 Norman Road, St Leonards

Now called the Norman Arms, but known to locals simply as the Norman, this 1840s pub stands on the corner of Norman Road and Western Road. At 15 Norman Street in 1871 census.  It was demolished and rebuilt in 1938 and this was said to have been done without the pub ever needing to close! Local legend has it that the Landlord, Leonard Collinson, was known to regulars as "Colly" and a practical joker once took a pony upstairs and tied it to his bed. There had once been a beer house next door called the Warrior's Arms, but little is known about it. ***
