West Sussex Drinking Song

Hilaire Belloc

They sell good Beer at Haslemere
And under Guildford Hill.
At Little Cowfold as I’ve been told
A beggar may drink his fill:
There is a good brew in Amberley too,
And by the bridge also;
But the swipes they take in at Washington Inn
Is the very best Beer I know.

[Excerpt]

Haslmere and Guildford are strictly in Surrey.

The Washington Inn is the Franklands Arms in the village of Washington, West Sussex.

The Poetry Atlas has many other poems about Sussex, both East and West.
