Rye House 1904
The front aspect of the mid-15th-century
red brick gatehouse of Rye House, the
scene of the ill-fated 1683 Whig
conspiracy to ambush Charles II as he
returned to London from Newmarket
Backed with a wind-break
of Corsica pine planted by
Thomas William Coke in the
mid 19th century, this area is
a breeding ground for birds
such as terns, redshank
and oystercatchers.
There are a number of
lovely timber-framed
buildings in this village,
and many more that
were once of timber,
until a brick façade was
added at a later date.
Past the Georgian remains of Sea Houses, at
the junction of Royal Parade with Seaside, is
the flamboyant Albion Hotel, now renamed
the Carlton Hotel, its red brick all colour-
washed.
