The modern revival of theatrical productions at the Lamb in Eastbourne's original High Street revives a historic tradition at what was once the centre of the village's cultural and social life.
The eighteenth century extension of the original hostelry whose cellars date back to the twelfth century was used as the Assembly Rooms of the village and theatrical productions were among the social activities which took place there.
Notable amongst these were amateur dramatic productions in some of which Dickens participated.
The Blue Plaque on Pilgrims opposite - which is Eastbourne's oldest house and pre-dates the Lamb - records: "Charles Dickens made several visits to this ancient house in the 1830s."
Two of his close friends were Holman Hunt the artist and Dickens who would join Egg at his summer retreat, Hunt coming over from his home in Fairlight and Dickens down from London.
Their common interest was amateur dramatics and they would rehearse their parts across the road at Pilgrims and then put on the plays either at the now disappeared theatre in South Street (taking their refreshment at the still existing Dickens Tea Rooms in South Street) or in the Assembly Rooms at the Lamb.
To mark the link between Dickens and the Lamb, actor Colin Baker read two of the author's best known stories, "The Signal-Man" and "A Christmas Carol" in December 2009. 
Emanuel Stance (1843 – December 25, 1887) was a Buffalo Soldier in the United States Army and a recipient of America's highest military decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Indian Wars of the western United States.
Stance joined the Army in October 1866, and was promoted to Sergeant just a few months later.
At the time of his actions, Stance was serving in Company F of the 9th Cavalry Regiment at Fort McKavett.
On May 20, 1870, he was sent with a patrol to find the Apaches who had kidnapped Herman Lehmann and his younger brother, Willie, four days earlier.
Stance and his men located the raiding party near Kickapoo Springs, about fourteen miles north of Fort McKavett, and opened fire.
The Apaches abandoned their stolen horses and fled, enabling Willie Lehmann to escape during the chaos.
For his bravery on this mission, Stance was cited for "allantry on scout after Indians" and became the first African-American regular to receive the Medal of Honor a month later, on June 28, 1870.
Stance reached the rank of First Sergeant before being murdered on Christmas Eve, 1887.
His body was found on the road to Crawford, Nebraska with several bullet wounds; the probable victim of his own men.
He was buried at Fort McPherson National Cemetery, Maxwell, Nebraska.
