More about this scene
On the left of this photograph of the High Street is the boarded-up shop of E Wraight, cycle agent. The Wraight brothers were also builders, blacksmiths and undertakers. Next door is the Gift Shop, and across the road is J A Norman, selling fruit and vegetables. Also in the High Street was the Ship Inn, which had a very strong connection with smugglers. The Lords, Bailiff and Jurats of Romney Marsh used to hold their annual lunch there, and turned a blind eye to any smuggling activities.
