I can still remember waiting on this pier for the 'Royal Daffodil'  or the 'Royal Sovereign' during the my childhood, for our day trip up the river. We would do this trip regularly whilst on holiday with my Grandparents in Northfleet. It was one of my favourite days out. Julia (Weekes)

RE: RE: The Royal Daffodil

Just post war the steamer trips to Southend were a great day out after the days of war time austerity and a relief from V1 and V11 rockets a year or two before.
