its and bobs Love me or Recycle m e You might have noticed our new recycling doodle on the contents page, created by the very talented Chloë King. We know that many of our readers like to keep their copies of Viva but, for those of you who are less attached, could you please pop it in the recycling when you’re done. Viva is printed here in Sussex, on paper produced from PEFC sustainably managed forests and the few returns we get we send back to be pulped so that they can go round again. Chloë has created a series of these lovely doodles for us so look out for them each month. ghost pubs: #16 The Running Horse, 21 Western Road With Lewes racecourse lying at the western edge of the town, the Pelham Arms was the original focus for the happy throng of racegoers. However, in 1789 the Running Horse was opened, boasting ample stables, and situated slightly closer to the racecourse. The first landlord was Richard Goddard, who remained there for 20 years, before leaving to take over the newly-built Black Horse in 1809. The Running Horse appears to have had a rather dubious reputation around the 1840s, with landlord James Henshaw in court more than once for assault. And in 1846 his wife Mary was accused of assaulting a servant who ‘had been much too familiar’ with her husband. The longest serving landlord was David Banks, who took over the pub in 1888 and ran it until his death, 37 years later, in 1925. A very well-respected man, he for many years also served as a footman to the judges who visited Lewes for the summer assizes. The Running Horse was one of three Lewes pubs selected for closure in 1927. Although altered slightly since then, the building still stands, and was for many years the Western Road post office. In this old photograph (kindly supplied by John Davey) you can see the pub sign on the right. Mat Homewood lewes in numbers Glyndebourne’s world famous opera house is only 3 miles from Lewes. Operas have been staged there since 1934, when a 300 seat auditorium was opened, expanding 3 times to reach 850 seats by 1977. Complete rebuilding in the 1990s has now resulted in an auditorium seating 1,200. It has 150 full-time staff, around 1,500 visiting artists and seasonal staff, and an annual turnover of £25,000,000. The Festival and Tour together stage over 120 performances in the year, reaching an audience of 150,000. And its wind turbine, built in 2012, is 67 metres high and generated 89% of the company’s electricity requirements in its first year. Sarah Boughton 21
