Grandfathers Ship
My Grandfather John Collier served onboard, 6 different occasions between 1874 and 1886.

HMS Imgregnable
My Great Great Grandfather Frederick George Rivers served and trained on this ship from 1886 to 1887, and trained on another 5 ships in Devonport between 1881 and 1891. Including HMS Duke of Wellington, HMS Rupert and HMS Northampton. He served on his first ship at the age of 16.
George Henry Finch
My Great, Great Grandfather served on this ship several times as a signalman ending in 1889 as 2nd Yeoman.

This is deceptive as the width of the old cobbled street was between the two. I, as well as my five siblings, was borne in 28 Edinburgh Road, this was approximately at the point where the wall was breached for the Yard extension after the war. I believe the breach was roughly in line with Duncan Street and Northbrook Street, both of which ran at right angles to Edinburgh Road. There was a high level board on the wall, signed by Colin Campbell, the then Town... Read more
