... This is good reading - must have taken ages to compile! I can't account for accuracy as I'm a 'novice', but hopefully you got my email about Henry to your...
The white mark in the tops'l is a badly digitally repaired photo. The photo has crease marks, dust and blotches on it......... I must get around one day to...
I have found a picture of 'Henry' in a postcard book on Hoo - which Henry i'm not sure as she is loading bricks at Hoo. However, she has scalloped rails that...
Thanks Paul for trying. However, if you download that photo you'll then have the version I have. I would say by the quality etc. of the photo that it was taken...
I found this sepia photo of Ironsides (can read the name)in a charity shop in Horley (near Gatwick). I think the background is Southend but have no idea of...
Hello Paul, I would agree with you about Southend as the background. I would say late sixties early seventies around the same era as some copies of photos I...
I will most likely be missing this match as I will be putting together my one man art exhibition (it's nothing special - just a local exhibition)at the Clacton...
Thanks - it is certainly a very interesting compilation. Hoping to get to Henry later and do some more with the paintbrush...haven't been there for over a week...
After the scorching weather, the early morning drive to Gravesend to see the barges off was most refreshing. We parked just by the Gravesend Basin, and walked...
Thanks Paul for the photos and report on the match......... We'll have to wait and see for the results. Just looked at the barge diary and have realised I have...

Hello Paul, Westcliff Theatre is by Clacton Hospital just off the seafront. Which is handy 'cos after you've seen my prices...........!!! Seriously though, I...
Wow! What a day. 16 barges altogether in one place at one time! What made it even more impressive was the location. I've never been to Pin Mill before and I...
Glad you had a good time. Sounds as if Phoenician came off badly in a collision with Reminder at the end of the match. Probably the barge you are curious about...
Have added a few photos to the Melissa album. I do have some more but Yahoo seems to pull the plug on groups if too many photos are uploaded in a 24 hour...
Good morning from Canada: Could someone tell me how the tabernacle is fastened to the deck of a wooden barge. Not having access to anything but pictures and...
Hello Gerry I have not got around to answering your post as events here in the UK have taken my time. From my limited knowledge and this is based around modern...
Hi Michael I'm no expert but have had my head in the barge books! I think there was a timber between kelson and beam under mastcase. I will look inside Cambria...
Hello Gerry I have left your message attached to this email in case you'd like to copy and paste it onto the Thames barge group on yahoo............. it does...
