Tag: Hope Anchor Hotel
Hope Anchor Hotel provides the setting for this group of Rye’s Own articles, where buildings, people and events meet in the magazine’s record of the district. The trail includes “The Port of Rye”, “Adventures in Rye – The Day the War Started”, “Rye Scallop Festival 2005”, and “Lions Enjoy Christmas Dinner At Hope Anchor”, offering several ways into the subject rather than a single potted account. The archive leaves room for eyewitness detail, strong opinions and the affectionate hindsight that gives Rye’s Own its particular flavour.

The port was always used for commerce as well as military purposes. The Romans shipped much of their iron exports from it, for even in Roman days the Weald of Kent and Sussex were producing iron.
