As was the case for many of the sub-post...

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
talmacapt is correct, it is Dartmouth. I believe the station was constructed in anticipation that the railway would be built to it, this never happened, the railway is on the other side of the river Dart, runs from Paignton and terminates at Kingswear.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I should have realised that there were some of our community who would have intimate knowledge of this location, having spent time at the establishment up the hill. And, yes, the building can 'see' a train, but only across the river!

Re: Taking aircraft under bridges
My mother, a Wren Bomb Range Marker CPO, during WWII, said she had been over the Forth Bridge (Scotland) in a train and an aircraft, and under it in a boat and an aircraft. A Swordfish I believe and she also stated the pilot faced a court martial for it!

Thank you Woody.
How about a church? But maybe not where you would expect to see one.

The Vines pub, Lime St, Liverpool.
Worked in Liverpool a few years ago and lived in Alexandra Tower, on the river frontage, but never managed to visit said pub. Went to a lot of others though!

Re: HM Queen Elizabeth
Whatever anyone thinks of our monarchy, surely all sane people must realise that, if we dispensed with them and adopted some form of rebublicanism, all we would end up with is even more politicians! No one in their right mind should be wishing for that. Our current monarchy have little real power .....

Happies to all from me at the, very windy, eastern edge of the known world.
Tomorrow will be busy for me as I cook for all my immediate family who will be with us for the day.
