I've been through several times, once when "stuck" waiting for a ship out in Barry. For some reason, after walking about the town near the old Roman baths and driving around a bit I never thought to get out and walk along the river. I remember this "U" shaped cascade from the bridge view. A shame.

nice! That happens here in GER as well. Some less ones of that formerly so many of that yellow boxes remains over here too.
Btw - if you zoom in into the map you will see that there are two of them.
cheers - michael

Ah yes, "conveniences" were nice and I thought them very civilized as here one usually has to enter a store and sometimes even buy something. Then I began finding some of yours badly vandalized and far less "convenient"! On the police/fire call boxes I found this after posting that comment.

Same to you and all! Basically I have been facing a lot of this in her later and considerably more solidly filled out just about fully adult version. A real pleasure, but somewhat insatiable with that "Throw it now!" stuff and other games. Have been stuck pretty much at home of late with only a few short escapes.

Hi, Thanks for the info. Having sampled the tea and cakes, I can only but agree with you. The picture came out quite well considering it was taken on a low res. mobile phone camera. Regards, B & A.

Ah ha! Trinity House Lightvessel no. 55 (1888-1954) and she was off shore; just very old. Saw some big storms too. That would have been a ride! One thing to be able to maneuver, another thing entirely to be on the hook riding one out. If I read the dates as from to correctly, she was at Cross Sand 1888-1910 so would have been the vessel involved in the early wireless telegraphy as mentioned in GB0CMS - Caister Marconi Station.

Always thought one of those would make a nice retirement home. There was a program back in the 1990s on either PBS or the Travel Channel (before it became largely face stuffing foolishness) featuring someone buying something similar in the Thames and taking it across all the way to the Black Sea through Europe's canal system. Yeah, the way to end one's days.

Obviously a rather small lightship to the right but I cannot make out the name. A bit small and low freeboard to be oceanic. One of the Bristol Channel lights perhaps?
