Something a little different!
23rd May 2011
After a hectic week of Dunrobin, my fiancée and I spent a weekend in London – to escape the heritage World for a few days! However, along the way there were a few sitings of interest!
Below: Much of the Thames waterfront seems to be flats and offices now, but there are some great original buildings amongst them, including this warehouse complete with cranes and derricks.
Below: This is the Sailing Barge Cabby, built in 1928 and also fitted with a motor. It weighs in at 76 tons and is today used for charter work from Tower Bridge, the hold being fitted out as a dining area. Originally it would have sailed from London to ports on the south and east coasts, with occasional trips to the continent.
