Photo by Rowena Easton MY LEWES: TONY PARKER Are you local? I was born in Buckinghamshire, but moved to the area in 1976 to study engineering at Sussex University. I have Sussex roots though… I can trace my family in Ditchling back 500 years. I love it around here: there’s the town, and the countryside and the sea… what more could you ask? Did you immediately live in Lewes? No, I lived in Brighton, and Hove, then when I got married aged 34 we moved to Uckfield. I moved to Lewes 11 years ago. I love history, interesting architecture, and the natural environment, and Lewes has all that in spades. Walking from my home in Sun Street to the pub most days after work is an utter pleasure. Which pub? Normally The Brewers, but I’ll go anywhere they serve good real ale. We are lucky having the best in the world here – Harveys. Every beer they produce is very well balanced. I was delighted when Dark Star Original came out because at last there was a beer that could compete! You work in Shoreham Harbour… I’m the Chief Engineer there. It’s a Trust Port which means profits don’t go to shareholders, they are ploughed back into the port, and into the local community. The port used to be run down but now it’s buzzing, and it’s a great asset for Sussex. I’m really proud of what’s been done there. How do you get there and back? The port is four miles long so I need to go by car because I need it throughout the day. You can easily get there by train though. What’s your favourite Lewes view? Looking down School Hill over Cliffe and up Old Lady’s Bottom. Or up at the castle from the Paddock. Recommend a good restaurant. Outside Lewes I often go to the Middle House in Mayfield… all the food is local; even the bread is made on the premises. In Lewes the best restaurant – thoughtful menus with good ingredients – is Pelham House. Are you a foodie? Very much so. I grow all my own vegetables on my allotment in Haredean, I buy all my meat from a friend who rears cattle and sheep organically, and all my pies and sausages from Richards. With so much wonderful local produce around, why use a supermarket? They’re for buying cleaning products and the like. Are you Bonfire? I’m a member of Commercial Square. I think the Bonfire societies are brilliant for the community spirit, and really hold the town together. I’m useful because I can get a lot of palettes from the port for the bonfire. I feel privileged to be part of it all. If you didn’t live in Lewes, where would you live? If a majority of people decided to leave Europe – for basically fearful reasons – I would seriously consider leaving the country. I’d like to live in Italy, or India, or Canada, perhaps. AL 11
