EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing photographic print showcasing a grand procession making its way through the ancient town of Rye in East Sussex, England. 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. Landgate was magnificently decorated with flowers and evergreens, and on this ancient edifice was the welcoming motto, "Welcome to Rye." The image captures the excitement and patriotic spirit of the crowd as they gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion. The photograph presents a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the mediaeval town's rich history and the Victorian era's transportation advancements.

This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Rye's history and the significance of the town's connections to London and the wider world during the 19th century.
