The Hope Anchor Hotel and Watchbell Street in Rye, East Sussex.

---

A small hotel in an 18th century building once thought to house a smugglers gang. The street is named for the bell that was hung at the bottom of the lane to warn of impending French attacks on the town, which was an important port during medieval times.
