Genuinely shocked at how overgrown the line side is looking down from Slutchers Lane Bridge.
Didn't there used to be a signal there? I'm sure there was.
"Slutchers Lane", that brings back lots of memories. I worked at Thames Case from 90 -02, plus I was a regular down there as a teenager from 72 - 75.
Cardboard boxes and double headed 50's.
One of my old ships. HMS Endurance at work, deep South 1981.
A great ship that worked in a great part of the world, which unfortunately lost it's innocence a year later.
A Royal Navy Facebook group is currently discussing the current American difficulties at sea. It prompted the question "did you serve on a ship that had a bump"?
I was stunned to see that it was more common place than I thought over the years.
Nice everyday shot of naval activity of the time in J6541David.
I did my Sonar training at HMS Vernon in the Winter / Spring of 1976 / 77. It's now Gunwharf Quays.
Great photo's, great thread. I have followed every page, what a time machine!
Regarding the Deltic shot (C2199) would it not still have a head code in 1975 as opposed to dominos ?
