Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Cinque Ports Street The street is named after The Confederation of Cinque Ports a historic series of coastal towns in Kent and Sussex, at the eastern end of the English Channel where the crossing to the continent is narrowest. It was originally formed for military and trade purposes, but is now entirely ceremonial.
The name is Norman French for "five ports" the five being Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover, and Sandwich. They are supported by the two antient towns of Rye and Winchelsea, whose councils traditionally maintained defence contingents for the realm of England. |
