  Does anyone know if the railway lines to the Eastern Docks are still buried under the tarmac on the seafront? If so it might not be too hard a job to expose them for running a train on.
  
  Oops, silly me, forgot Nigel's tarmac

  I favour a pony and trap along the PoW pier.

  No they were all taken up in the late 60s and filled in.

  Saw some pictures of the old cafe/restaurant on the pier recently. It was long gone before I moved here. Looked fantastic, what a wonderful place it must have been to eat. Such a shame the new one lacks character.
  Got to say I never use the new one. Sitting outside the kiosks on the seafront is much more appealing. The outdoor seating area on the pier is surrounded by Walls!

  Hope Ian doesn't mind as this is one of his photos - I assume just after the 1987 storm

  Wow great picture! Cafe looks nice. Don't recognise the boat, what was that? Passenger craft?
