Scope and content
Mermaid Street, Rye, one of the most beautiful and well known thoroughfares in England, is in the heart of the citadel of Rye, an area of cobbled streets which has been a Conservation Area since the Civic Amenities Act of 1967. In 1985, as a result of representations by the Rye Conservation Society to the East Sussex County Council and the ministry of Transport, the parking of cars was prohibited in the street and the need for unsightly yellow lines waived. 29,500 copies sold.
