For 150 years, from the beginning of the 18th century, East Sussex was in the forefront of smuggling due to its pivotal position between the merchant suppliers of Northern France and London customers eager for untaxed luxuries such as brandy, tea and tobacco. In many cases the local inn became the smugglers' centre of operations where plots were hatched, arrangements agreed and runs commissioned. Terry Townsend, who has written extensively on this subject, has identified a significant number of authentic smugglers' pubs distributed throughout East Sussex. This book is a guide to the pubs and inns which were at the forefront of the smugglers' trade.
