Bingo we have a winner tick and baton to Bill.

Congratulations to Bill and commiserations to the other contestants.

Kindest regards

Thanks Richard.
I guessed Folkestone because it looked such a huge hotel and I thought it might be for a ferry port. This is what it looks like now:

Interestingly, the modern building is just a facade - the old hotel lies behind it!
It is one of the worst-rated hotels in England on Tripadvisor - some of the reviews are hilarious.

New card shortly....

Look after that crow, he's a winner.

Tick and Baton!

The pub is called The Ship, and it's hardly changed at all

Thanks Bill.

The only change might be that the car park is jam packed full of cars these days. We had a jaunt round Anglesey one day last September when we were staying in North Wales. Every single beach or cove was jam packed and you could not get a parking space for love nor money at any of them.

New card to follow shortly.

norvic · Post by **norvic** » 23 Jun 2022 18:51

I spent a night in that pub! My son had arranged to swap his Acorn computer for a better one and we drove from Norfolk to Anglesey.

Not something we would do now with petrol prices as they are, and so many more ways of shipping it.

I was hoping to see Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and the Cat.

The card is unused and rather tatty; if I had to guess I'd say 1970's era - but that is just a guess.

Admittedly, I did think about that, coming the conclusion that some might be and some might not be.

No doubt Ian will inform us.
