Rye & Camber Tram/Rye Harbour Branch

Description

A lively look at what is left in 2007 of the Rye and Camber Tramway and the Rye Harbour Branch Line.

Starting at the site of the Rye terminus of the tramway and working down all the available remaining track, every remaining clue is sought out and recorded. See tracks that are still in situe and the largely complete Golf Links station. Both the pre 1938 and post 1938 station sites at Camber Sands are included as are the very visible remaining embankments crossing the duned golf course.

The Rye Harbour Branch Line is traced from its departure from the main line, behind some houses, over the river and off into open fields heading south. After becoming partly obscured in an industrial area close to the harbour, it re-emerges to arrive at the harbour mouth.

Includes almost constant, well researched commentary. Recorded on a well lit day in March 2007.
