NO, sad but true. About 1888 the town was a such heaving den of iniquity that the Salvation Army marched in and attempted to impose temperance, etc on the local population, nicknamed porkbolters (a name which now lives on a local anarchist journal). The 'Skeleton Army' comprised of locals fought back so fiercely that the Riot Act was read and an entire platoon of infantry from Brighton came over to restore order - and things have never been the same since!!
