Great photo's. Very evocative. Were you in Greece when England won the world cup? I was still at Primary school but remember the year '66 as if it was yesterday.
Look at the beach at Blackpool...rammed full. All that's missing is a knotted hankie on your head and your mate donning a 'Kiss me Quick' hat.
Did you know a Bill Marsh who worked deep sea for the Palm Line? He was a well known 'face' in Dover? He later ended up on the ferries as most do after the collapse of the Merchant Navy..Like yourself he used to keep me enthralled with his tales and photos of the old days at sea. He even had shots he had taken of a ship sinking as his vesel answered the distress signal and rescued all the crew. Very moving to see about 6 shots taken at various stages as the ship went under.
Thanks for posting those mate.
