Areas we cover · Rye, TN31
Rye data recovery. Quayside paperwork, pottery order books and a great many photographs.
Rye stands where the Rother, the Brede and the Tillingham meet, with the harbour below it owned and managed by the Environment Agency. The station is on the Marshlink, worked by diesel units as far as Hastings. Its data comes off fishing and cargo paperwork, a working pottery, two museum sites, a nature reserve and a very large number of cameras.

Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| A skipper's catch and landings records | Logbooks, tag readers and passage planning on a laptop that lives aboard | Post it dry, in a padded box |
| A pottery's order book and pattern records | Glaze notes, product photography and a mail-order ledger, all in one place | Imaged before anything is touched |
| A reserve volunteer's survey drive | Sussex Wildlife Trust has well over 4,000 species recorded on the reserve | Tell us which dataset comes first |
| A museum's collections database | Rye Castle Museum runs two sites; Rye Art Gallery is at 107 High Street | Scope agreed before any reading |
| A photographer's card after a week in Rye | One of the most photographed towns in Sussex keeps a lot of cards busy | Card out, camera off |
How a Rye job runs.
Straight answers, from Rye.
Do you cover Rye Harbour and Camber as well?
Yes, with one point of pedantry: Rye Harbour is a separate village in the civil parish of Icklesham, not part of Rye. Either way TN31 is TN31 — the postcode takes in Rye, Camber and Northiam, and everything posted from it is handled alike.
The office computer at the quay is full of harbour paperwork. What do you need?
The disk, on its own. Cargo dues, manifests, pilotage and passage records tend to share a single drive, and it travels better without a case around it. Say which files are live and which are archive, because that decides the order of work.
A drive stood in water after a leak in the building. Is it finished?
Not necessarily, and drying it out and switching it on is the one thing that would finish it. Leave the unit alone, tell us what the liquid was, and post it. Water-damaged and flood-damaged equipment is routine bench work when it arrives untreated.
Rye is a long way round from Brighton. Does that change anything?
It changes the train, not the job. The Marshlink is diesel as far as Hastings before the line turns electric westward, which is a real nuisance for people and nothing at all to a parcel. Tracked post, free diagnosis on arrival, one fixed written quote.
