EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, taken from the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures a significant day in the town's history. The procession was led by Thomas Farncomb, the Lord Mayor of London, who was making a state visit to Rye. This day was particularly memorable for the borough annals, not only due to the Lord Mayor's visit but also because of the opening of the railway line from Ashford to Rye. For this special occasion, the railway was made available to the Lord Mayor and his entourage. As the procession entered the town, it passed under Landgate, a remnant of the old city walls.
