More about this scene

Many of the Morecambe Bay boats had names suggesting that they were bigger vessels, such as the 'Queen Mary' in the foreground -but she predated the Cunarder.

Yewbarrow Lodge

Is that Yewbarrow Lodge (the original one) in the background? Hit by incendiary bombs in 1941, and burnt badly. We used to play in the remains as children - Sadly SLDC didn't rebuild as per Colonel Porritt's wishes, and now although serving a great purpose as a nursing home, is a ghastly eyesore.
