Len Fuggle runs through this selection from the Rye’s Own archive, linking individual reports and recollections into a broader picture of local life. Stories such as “304 Air Training Squadron 1941”, “Rye A.T.C. Wartime 1941”, and “Trafalgar Day 200” give the collection its range and its distinctly local texture. The result is less a formal history than a lively bundle of evidence, voices and remembered moments from the magazine’s pages.
Trafalgar Day 200
Saturday 7 August saw the people of Rye celebrate a great English victory in a way that the Horatio Nelson would have no doubt approved.
