Loads of photo's -none really show my grans house sadly, but if you see the 'The George' or the 'New Rooms' my grans was between both pub's as they were then.
*Loved dropping balls of paper on the sailors as they walk passed back to their ship, I'd lean out of the attic window, roll the ball down the roof and hope it would bounce off the guttering and onto their hats .
If it worked and they were drunk enough they would spend ages wondering where the paper came from.
The RLNI boats are totally run by volunteers. Andrew, the lad I sat next to in class when we lived in Swanage, was really proud of his dad who was the Coxswain of the lifeboat. He was a milkman as a trade, so if the gun went off during the morning we didn't get the milk delivered!
