Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I have my own website of old photos of Saltash Passage at http://freespace.virgin.net/derek.tait/passage.htm which I hope will bring back memories.I'm compiling a book about Saltash Passage and I'm searching for any old photos and I wondered if anyone here could help me either with pictures or memories of the area. Thanks for any help that you can give me. Best wishes, Derek Tait. derek.tait@virgin.net
The white building on the far right of the photo is the Royal Albert Bridge Inn, at Saltash Passage on the Devon side on the river. A relative was born there in 1920 when his father John Augustin R. Stoneman was the landlord. Prior to that the landlord was John Watts Stoneman, father of JARS. His other grandfather was William John Bronte, who told his grandson that he had been told by his mother that she held him in her arms as a baby, standing on the bridge at the official opening in 1859.
