[Tim Marlow]

Sorry Peter, lucked out when I looked for floating docks and that came up....
Also found this picture of it....

She was a big one and no mistake.....

 

[Tim Marlow]

OK, let’s try this.....

Who is this, and what play and film did they inspire?

 

[Peter Gillson]

It is George Arthur-Shea, with his father Martin and the film/play was the Winslow Boy?

Can you post a bigger picture Lee?

That’s close enough Peter, really well done on that....George Archer-Shee and his father Martin. Apparently they got 7,000 compensation, about thirty times the cost of my house which was built around the same time...that would be around 1.25 million in today’s money....quite a lot for five shillings.

One of my favorite films.

I'm not posting another picture, leave it to Lee (who 'co-won' the Balaclava painting) to continue the thread with his picture.

Spot on Pete, it used to be a garrison years ago but was converted to a prison in 1949.

I spent many days walking around the embankments and surrounding

Pete,

I will not be around for the next two days, due to a family bereavement - can someone else take my turn (again), please ?

Paul.

My condolences Paul, thoughts to you and your family

If I may jump in...
