From an email received 9 April 2012.
I remember going into this pub as a child because my late Aunt Annie
Fagg - nee Jezzard (related by Marriage to the Fagg family) who ran the
garage and petrol pump (only one pump!!) immediately opposite The Cinque
Ports Arms, was quite a regular visitor.
In the the adjacent house, to the right of the Cinque Ports Arms is a
grey building, which belonged to my Grandmother and in which I also
stayed as a child for short holidays. I only wish I had a picture for
you of how the Cinque Ports Arms used to be, but sadly my family didn't
bother to take pictures and I, of course, was too young. I can recall
the pub in my mind's eye and remember that there were two bars both
quite small but very friendly.
Regards,
John Kimber.
