East Sussex, PRINCE ALBERT, Brighton. We reported the good news in November 2023 that a proposed neighbouring development, which would have threatened the long-term future of this popular community music pub due to potential noise complaints, had been denied planning permission. Unfortunately, we now hear the owner of the next-door property has decided to appeal the decision. So, the anxious wait continues. See: 
Herefordshire, DUKE OF YORK, Leysters. This Herefordshire pub has achieved sufficient votes to be elevated from Two to Three Stars. The interior has remained essentially unchanged for over fifty years and the pub still has a smallholding attached. However, some who have visited consider that it lacks sufficient historic interest and distinction to merit our top grading. It would be useful to hear the views of Bulletin readers who happen to visit, or already know it.
Derbyshire, DEW DROP INN, Ilkeston. A similar scenario has emerged here, with enough votes coming in to move it from Two to Three. The current layout dates from a 1950s refit and the two bars sport fixtures and fittings highly redolent of the period (a modern fireplace in the lounge being the only jarring note). The drinking lobby has a servery with sliding hatch. Concerns have been raised about work undertaken since lockdown though this was largely confined to a third room that contained little of historic interest. Nonetheless, its bona fide has been questioned so, again, any opinions would be welcome.

Hampshire, EASTFIELD, Portsmouth. An interesting back street local dating from 1906 containing numerous fixtures & fittings from the 1930s to 1960s. Originally it had a multi-room layout and now consists of two separate bars –Public Bar and Lounge. Martyn Constable reports that an opening has been made between the two rooms by the new tenants, so re-assessment will be required.
Ayrshire & Arron, FANNY BY GASLIGHT, Kilmarnock. This town centre pub closed unexpectedly in June. Originally called the Railway Tavern, the pub was remodelled in 1903, when the massive oval shaped bar counter was installed. Any updates welcome.
Nottinghamshire, SAVILE ARMS, Eakring. Similarly, we hear that this 17th Century pub which still has a traditional multi-room layout, has closed with no warning. Any updates welcome.
