Description
Rye Through Time by Alan Dickinson explores the rich history of this Sussex port and market town. From its foundation in the eleventh century to its current status as a centre for tourism, leisure and the arts, Rye's story is one of defence, trade, fishing, shipbuilding, agriculture, retail and market services. Contrasting images including photographs, drawings and prints bring the passage of time to life, revealing how little has changed in the local scene. Enthusiasts of boats, land transport and costume will find much interest in this book, which invites readers to look at Rye's rural setting, monuments, streets, buildings, rivers and quays. With its unique blend of history and visual interest, Rye Through Time is a fascinating guide to this historic town.
