The Marshlink line cuts through an area steeped in history, providing a wealth of material for both emerging and established writers. Inspired by lives and legends from the past, two rap stories, The Smugglers’ Tale and The Case of Alice Martin, were written and recorded by nine young people as part of a three-day workshop at The School Creative Centre, Rye, working with Audioactive rap artists Jon Clark and Paul Alborough, aka Elemental, with music producer Ollie Finn and research support from young historian Henry Lampitt.
