EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the abolition of Rye's famous toll road. Known to thousands of motorists in Sussex, this picturesque route connected the historic points of Rye and Winchelsea. The date etched on the image, 29th August 1927, marks a turning point for travelers who no longer had to pay a fee to traverse this scenic pathway. In the photograph, we see a diverse group of people enjoying their day out in their motor cars. Families with mixed age ranges have gathered together to relish this newfound freedom from toll charges. The summer season is evident as everyone is dressed lightly, embracing the warm weather. The toll gate itself stands prominently in the background, now rendered obsolete by progress and changing times. It serves as a reminder of an era when money exchanged hands at these checkpoints along our roads. This Memory Lane Prints print captures not only an important milestone but also showcases how transportation has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, it sparks curiosity about what other historical moments are waiting to be discovered through these nostalgic images.
