Frank Igglesden runs through this selection from the Rye’s Own archive, linking individual reports and recollections into a broader picture of local life. Among the pieces gathered here are “Rye Old Boys F.C. 1936”, “Rye Boys and Old Boys Soccer”, and “Rye United Seconds 1954/55”, each adding its own detail to the story. Together they offer a characterful route through the magazine’s record of local life, memory and change.
