(Note: Kezia’s entry in the census records is in East Street but is not
indicated against any public house, I suspect that it might be the Spotted
Cow due to later proprietors having the same surname and her son Thomas in
1871? etc. It seems to have been a family run establishment for at least 50
years excluding Kezia, 60 years including her, which is unique in
Littlehampton in this period.) *
