"Anybody old enough to remember Dover Ferries"
As i was born and lived in Dover for 24 years it was part of my life and start of merchant life.
Very good bargain and lovely picture of old time Dover life.
Picked it up in Camberwell market in Melbourne for 5 dollars.
As it shows my old town and memories of the ferries about late 50;s early 60's couldn't resist it and now hanging in my home.
Hope it is of some interest
Thank You
Trevor

Very nice Pic there Trevor and reminds me of the day that I first arrived in the UK on the old Dunnottar Castle,i was wide awake early in the Morning as we passed those Beautiful White Cliffs,an awesome sight for a Young person doing his first trip.
A wonderful memory !
Thanks

Looking at that picture with the old British Rail board colours of the funnel I was trying to remember when they changed to the Red Funnel with the Seaink Arrows the old one was a much better colour scheme
