Description

Rye House Herts … Excursions Daily (c 1880). Three-colour chromo-lithographed poster, printed by F Waller, London. In 1864 a scheme was launched to convert Rye House into a resort modelled on London pleasure gardens like the Cremorne. Despite the railway from Liverpool Street which provided the 'excursion', its success was limited, but the Rye House Inn remains today.
