Description
The Cinque Ports Arms Pub on the corner of Cinque Ports Street in Rye, East Sussex, England, UK.
Camera Nikon D700 with 28-300mm Lens.
"The Cinque Ports Arms is on the corner. In 1859 there was a pub on the site called The Horse and Groom. Around 1867 the pub was demolished, rebuilt and renamed The Railway Hotel to attract the burgeoning new trade generated by the coming of the railways. Before the train people travelled by stagecoach. The first stagecoach ran from Rye to London in 1778. The stagecoach provided a flourishing business for inns in the town, for example, the George and the now gone Red Lion. The inns were places of entertainment. The Railway Hotel even had a stage. In the 1980s it was still referred to as The Railway Hotel. The current owners Shepherd Neame bought it in 1996 and renamed it The Cinque Ports Arms."
