This is a superb resource. I have been handed the task of modelling Rye Station and part of Harbour from 1940 to 1945..OO scale railway layout.

Can anyone furnish details about the barge? I believe it is still there, though beneath the surface of the saltmarsh, its stern still visible in a creek by the sailing club.

The barge you are considering might be the Primrose, rescued from the puzzling and now in the shipwreck museum in Hastings
