[The Landgate, Rye.] 39. [Rye was on the places which was added, with Winchelsea, to the confederation of the Cinque Ports of Henry II. in the thirteenth century. The Lindgate, or as it is now called the Landgate, is the only survival of the three portals which were built by Edward III. in 1360 as a part of Rye's fortifications. It is a beautifully proportioned massive building consisting of a broad archway flanked by massive towers with upper chambers. The Gate, although well preserved, shows many scars of battle, proving it was built for use and not ornament. Some years ago it was renovated with great care, and now forms a picturesque and interesting relic.]

[Courtyard of the Mermaid Inn, Rye.] 43. [The best view of the Mermaid Inn from the exterior is of the courtyard, which is of typical sixteenth century construction, and has been described as the most photographed inn in Sussex. It is certainly one of the most famous, for as far back as can be traced there has always been a Mermaid Inn at Rye. The town was for many years the headquarters of gangs of smugglers, who committed many violent crimes in the neighbourhood, and who used to frequent this famous inn. Many exciting stories are told of their association with the place. It is reported to have a secret staircase and a hidden well used by the smugglers. Whether all the stories are true or not, the Inn is still a most picturesque and fascinating survival from a very early age.]

[Mermaid Inn, Rye.] 40. [The Mermaid Inn is a rambling, half-timbered building, and one of the best examples of old English domestic architecture in existence. It has broad open fireplaces, with great beams over its rafted ceilings, Dutch tiling and fine panelled rooms. Although the Inn has been modernized and is now a private hotel, the restoration work has been sympathetically done, and it still retains the atmosphere of a seafarers' inn of the old times. The Inn has many literary and historical associations, and was almost certainly known to John Fletcher, the well known Elizabethan dramatist, was was born in Rye. One of the interesting stories of the Inn is that concerning the ghost which is said to appear at midnight. Many writers and artists have lived in the town, including William Thackeray, Millais, Ruskin and Henry James.]

[Ypres Tower, Rye.] 42. [Ypres Tower is the oldest secular building in the Cinque Ports, with the exception of Dover Castle. At the time of its erection by William de Ypres, Earl of Kent, in the twelfth century, it was the only protection of the town, the walls and gateways being of a later date. The Tower was the last retreat of the people of Rye on the many occassions when the French sacked the town. Built on the summit of a rock rising sheer out of the sea, it was of great strength as a fortress. It is built of sandstone, with four circular turrets, of two stories and a basement. From the corners of each room massive iron-studded doors lead to the towers, the walls of which are four feet thick. For some two hundred years the tower was in use as a prison; to-day it stands as a picturesque reminder of the long history of the small town.]

An early design for what became the Grand Hotel, by the same architect Cuthbert Broderick (1821-1905), lacking the four distinctive turrets in the corners. A pencil note, 'received by Post from Mr Theakston 20 June 1862', suggests it was printed the year before construction began. However it imagines the hotel complete, with promenaders, riders and swimming huts on the beach By the time the building was completed in 1867 it had cost £100,000 and was the largest brick building and the largest hotel in Europe.

As far as can be ascertained, these were the first medals awarded to men of the Scarborough lifeboat.

The exterior of Scole Inn, with its massive sign spanning the road outside. Once called the White Hart, it was built in 1655 to serve this coaching traffic. Both Charles II and Admiral Nelson slept there, and highwayman John Belcher is said to have ridden his horse up the stairs at the inn to evade the law. The hunting-themed sign was also constructed in 1655, costing £1057 to make and erect, with over twenty-five carved figures, including Diana and Cerberus, Neptune and a deer-headed man. It was removed in the early 19th century, as it cost too much to maintain.

The explosion at Seaford, Sussex in 1850, which was organised in order to blast away a huge mass of chalk cliff to create a large rock groyne and prevent pebbles from being transported from the Seaford Beach towards Beachy Head. As shown here, the event attracted vast crowds (including Charles Dickens, who wrote about it for 'Household Words'). The explosion took place successfully, but the chalk was blasted into very small fragments which, rather than retaining shingle at Seaford beach, merely accelerated the eastwards flow of sediment it was intended to prevent.

Plate 3 to Robert Mitchell's (1782 - 1809; fl.) folio 'Plans, and views in perspective, with descriptions of buildings erected in England and Scotland; and ... an essay to elucidate the Grecian, Roman and Gothic Architecture.' Mitchell designed Silwood Park, near Staines, Berkshire. In about 1788, Sir James Sibbald built a Georgian mansion on part of the present house and demolished the old "Eastmore"; he called it Selwood or Silwood Park. The name stems from the Old English for Sallow, which presumably grew then along the banks of the streams that flow through the Park. The house was, in its turn, demolished, and the present mansion was completed in 1878. During WWII it became a convalescent home for airmen; then in 1947 Imperial College purchased the house for entomological research and field studies.

Engraving 495 x 660mm. Trimmed to plate, centre fold, minor nicks and scratches
Explanation and Key to plan and elevation left and right. Sheerness was the focus of an attack by the Dutch navy in June 1667, when 72 hostile ships during the Raid on the Medway compelled the little 'sandspit fort', to surrender and landed a force which for a short while occupied the town. Impressed by the civil behaviour of the Dutch marines - they paid for their dinner - the town reinvited the Dutch Marine Corps for the third centennial of the raid. Pepys at Gravesend remarked in his diary 'we do plainly at this time hear the guns play' and in fear departed to Brampton in Huntingdonshire. Sheerness was also the site of a Royal Dockyard which, although not as large as those at Chatham and Deptford was still of some importance in Tudor and Stuart England. During the Victorian age a warship was built which still exists - HMS Gannet (an 'Osprey' class Sloop) which was launched on 31 August 1878.

Sheerness, beside the mouth of the River Medway on the northwest corner of the Isle of Sheppey in north Kent. Sheerness began as a fort built in the 16th century to protect the River Medway from naval invasion. In 1665, plans were first laid by the Navy Board for a Royal Navy dockyard where warships might be provisioned and repaired, a site favored by Samuel Pepys, then Clerk of the Acts of the navy, for shipbuilding over Chatham. After the raid on the Medway in 1667, the older fortification was strengthened; in 1669 the Royal Navy dockyard was established, where warships were stocked and repaired until its closure in 1960. An impressive scene after Richard Paton (1717 - 1791), painter of marine subjects. With an etched crest below image.
