Try again. I tried to post this in the thread about the Tom Wood book "Looking for Love" this is the frontespiece. Rab abd Pete were my mates from Coleraine in Northern Ireland. You can just see the back of the enigmatic Captain America and my pint on the table in front of Rab.

Only went in the Chelsea once, dodging a person about to throw up all over me, I ended up face down on the floor, this proved to be a much bigger bio-hazard than getting thrown up on. Never went back, but in its defence all the clubs had pretty nasty floors, but most clubs didn't have horizontal projectile vomit flying around in the middle.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Derek: The first picture shows the old wooden pier, this was built in 1830 and demolished in 1865.

The second picture I have a copy of and it is dated 1890s.
