Sinopsis
Excerpt from Tales of Rye Town
Handful of trucks, halts at the foot Of a sleepy mound. With the poor approach suggested by modern workmen's cottages and the cheap masonry of a station the beauty Of the upper roofs on the hill is but dimly apprehended. Not yet, not until the iron roadway is left and the height below Play den is scaled, do you see Rye wholly, as she lies like.

Excerpt from Tales of Rye Town
Haven in the rich centuries that have taken wing, borough - half village, half townlet - to-day, Rye, erstwhile of the Company of the Five Ports, stands ever on her "little hill," even as she stood in the days of the Stuarts, when her loving townsman, the astrologer Samuel Jeake, wrote so graciously and curiously of her. Of that splendid rage of the sea about her feet, that "flux and reflux" on which her historian dwells, we have now but scant pledges. The sea walls and dykes crumbled long ago. There remains, at least on her seaward front, that green space, the name of which - "The Salts" - has all the tang of brackish regret.
To come upon Rye from the land side - that is, from the heart of Kent - is to see her but imperfectly, with half-averted vision. The train, a handful of trucks, halts at the foot of a sleepy mound. With the poor approach suggested by modern workmen's cottages and the cheap masonry of a station the beauty of the upper roofs on the hill is but dimly apprehended.
