A resident of Rye, who lives quite deep into the town, sought and gained permission to build a garage below and studio above next to the Globe.

Personally, I think it looks good and tidies up that area nicely.

Just out of interest I am including old photographs of what was on that site at the beginning of the last century. An enormous building which one can hardly believe would fit on the site, which is now pretty much trees and scrub.
