The Mermaid, Rye, Sussex, 1936 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1936 and transports us to The Mermaid Inn in Rye, Sussex. With its origins dating all the way back to 1420 and adorned with Tudor additions from the 16th century, this architectural marvel is a true testament to England's rich history. The image captures the essence of The Mermaid Inn's charm and allure. Its aged facade stands proudly against a picturesque background of East Sussex countryside. As we delve deeper into its story, we learn that this inn has not only witnessed centuries pass by but also played host to notable figures such as Queen Elizabeth I herself. Legend has it that The Mermaid Inn holds secrets within its walls - tales of smugglers belonging to the infamous Hawkhurst Gang who once roamed these very halls. This haunting past adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this historic location. Intriguingly framed within this snapshot are people going about their daily lives - a young girl feeding chickens while birds gracefully soar above her head. These subtle details bring life and movement into an otherwise still scene frozen in time. As we admire this vintage print from "Old Inns - A Series of 40" captured by an unknown creator for W. D & H. O Wills in 1936, we can't help but feel connected to a world long gone yet preserved through photographs like these. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us on a journey through time.
