The Flight of the Snowbirds
... Deco buildings. It was once a Roman port, Albium Ingaunum, and the Roman dockside is still there by the side of the road as you drive in. But like Winchelsea and Rye, the sea retreated long ago and it lost its importance. The cathedral had all its Baroque ornamentation torn off it in the 1960s to leave the original 13th century building showing, and there are three enormous 13th century towers surrounding it. The ...
