Paine Avenue and The Rype

Paine Avenue is one of several roads which cross the common land known as The Rype. On the left, by the trees, is a children's play area. The Rype is a large triangular-shaped open area surrounded by houses. Originally The Rype extended for several miles along the coast, both to the east and west of the present town. The Rype is believed to have been given to the people of Lydd by the Archbishop of Canterbury, as a reward for fighting off a Danish army in the year 904. Image
