PHILIPPINE VILLAGE (no longer there)


The Philippine Village used to lie on Romney Marsh, midway between Rye and Brenzett. It was set up to import crafts from the Philippines, and supply them with much-needed money. It was a bright, sparkling place, full of colour, and had shops and a nice tea rooms. This is one of the highly-decorated 'Jeepneys' a sort of local Phillippine cross between a taxi and a bus. The only thing left now is the tea rooms, now a cafe. (Jo's Cafe - highly recommended)
