The building is first shown on the c.1898 OS Map. It is indicated as a public house on this map, as well as subsequent editions. Street Directories name it as the Port Hall Tavern from at least 1890 until 1973 (under 10 Park View Terrace, Stanford Road). Records held by East Sussex Records Office suggest it may have been in use as a public house by as early as 1882, and was associated with Tamplin Brewery. In 1890 George Postlethwaite was proprietor. He was followed by John Nelson, Stanley B Lawrence and members of the Cole family. It appears to have been de-licenced in 1973, and converted to use as a shop with flat over named Milligan House. Two storey with red brick elevations, it has three distinctive bay windows to the north elevation, with curved sides, and small panes of glass surrounding a semi-circular arched detail. One is to the ground floor only, with pediment above. The remaining two bay windows rise to first floor level; one appears to have been built around at ground floor level. There are four doors. Remaining windows have stained glass or 20 over 1 hung sash windows. Original pub sign now reads ‘Milligan House’.
