More about this scene
Barely visible in the distance are the level crossing and signal box. There has been change here, with development on both sides of the road, though the white building in the centre and the terrace of houses remain. In the branch of Gammons, the tailors and outfitters, Jack Phillips, who was chief wireless telegraphist on the 'Titanic', was born in 1887. He earned more than local fame when he stayed at his post, transmitting the new 'SOS' signal until the ship sank.
