Does anyone remember 'Ponte' who used to live there back in the 50's and 60's. I think he was a soap salesman and he used to collect his water at the Point somewhere. There was a propeller on the roof for generating electricity and batteries to store it for use in the house.
I also seem to remember he only had one arm! What happened to him?

(Ed. there were lime kilns there... also another lime kiln works along Rye Harbour road. In agriculture lime was used as a "manure" on the heavy soils in order to make them more open and friable, to improve drainage and to make the land more easily worked to a good tilth.)
