    I’d have thought that a heritage site or tourist park would be interested or if they are not holding up development - leave them where they are. The team who recovered the gates believe that they are constructed of Greenheart wood.

    To me Ronnie Barker’s character Albert Arkwright from Open all Hours has an uncanny likeness to Mr. Nigh. He wore a brown dust coat and had a pronounced limp just as Tropicgal remembers. His shop was very small and crammed with the old sweet jars that people used as gold fish bowls at that time.

    A St Ives company with a reputation for poor victualing at sea - known as “Hungry Hains”. However I don’t think anyone ever complained of going without a drink ----- or two.

    Are the two round pillars made of marble or serpentine ?

    I posted and didn't notice your reply - thanks that's very clear. Camberwell Street was very narrow - more like a lane. It's also on the map as Camborne Street, while on the census it is called Camberwell. The Primative Methodist Chapel must have been rebuilt in 1899.

    Treeve - I have found an ordinance survey of the Camberwell area dated 1888 on the “British History Online” site and it’s not clearly recorded on that either.

    Odd that between Adelaide Street and Mount Street the old Camberwell Street wasn’t named or recorded as a thoroughfare

    Comment by 'trevelyan' in media 'PS Waverley'

    Oops - it was unlikely that I saw the Waverly in the nineteen fifties, the one in the picture was on a regular run off the west coast of Scotland at that time. Before the war there was another Waverly operating along the south coast and Bristol Channel which was sadly sunk by the Luftwaffe in...

    Just had a look on U Tube “PS Waverley in St Ives Bay 1994” and not surprised that she could sometimes break a paddle.
