This changed to Ditchling Road sometime during the 1890s. The North Star popped up sometime in the 1860s. The earliest record I could find was 1864 when the pub was run by Ann Gates.
There were many different landlords over the years including Frederick Laurence Herriott, James Deacon, J Hillman and others. Notably though, the pub was run by William Charles Hayward from 1918 and continued to be run by the Hayward family right up until at least the 1970s.
I have yet to find out when the pub closed or whether the Haywards continued running it until its closure.
