The Bat & Ball was situated on Lewes Road. This former coaching inn closed in the 1960s.
I lived in the Bat and Ball from about 1941 to 1945.  My father evacuated his family out of Eastbourne during those years.   I say “about”, as I was only two at the beginning of the war!!  Seven at the end, so memory really only begins around 1943.
