More about this scene
Founded by the Saxons, Sandwich was once a Cinque Port at the mouth of the River Stour, but owing to silting it is now two miles from the sea. It reinvented itself as a cloth-weaving town, and is today a quaint market town with narrow streets. The Elizabethan town hall is now the museum. The town retains two of its town gates, Barbican Gate and Fisher Gate. Note the open-topped car on the right. The Town Hall originally went up in 1579, but its exteriror was completely rebuilt in 1910-12, giving it a mock-Tudor appearance.
