Burgess Hill Pub Guides

Some time ago, a group of us went around Burgess Hill and 'covertly' took pictures and made a video about all the pubs in the town. Finally I've found the time to bring all these videos together onto one page on the Burgess Hill Uncovered website. They are rather novel and should provide you with a bit of a giggle. I hope you can all appreciate the effort taken to use suitable music for each pub, it wasn't an easy task!

Since these videos were made, the pub landscape in the town has changed, with some pubs having been refurbished and in some cases shut down!

Are the Woolpack and Junction pubs still shut?

X-rated snow sculptures in Burgess Hill

Back when I was just a little nipper, when it snowed, people made snowmen and that was it. Fastforward two decades and it seems that the human race has become more creative when it comes to snow.

The following video below requires no description, but your comments are welcome.

Shooting in Burgess Hill

On Thursday evening I was tending to my usual administration tasks in the Burgess Hill Uncovered offices, outside I could hear the sound of a helicoptor which seemed to be circling overhead for a good hour or so. I merely put it down to a lost dog or something equally as minor, a lost child perhaps.

Imagine my surprise the next morning when I received an email revealing that a man had been shot in the head in West Street! It seems that victim only suffered a flesh wound, and is out of hospital already. Burgess Hill news fans will know that another shooting took place in West Street not so long ago as well, was this the same house? Was the victim the same man? What could be the motive to want to shoot someone in Burgess Hill?

Worrying times indeed, especially when you consider this shooting took place not that far from the Burgess Hill Uncovered Offices.
