ReplyDeleteThe image reminds me of a sailors insignia, so could be related to berths of ships?....How many of them are there? Also whereabouts, you might fid the answer relates to the quarry business.... http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/20/Penlee.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/20/ARC.htm&h=329&w=576&sz=45&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=vWAHROyA3TCKlM:&tbnh=77&tbnw=134&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpenlee%2Bquarry%2Brailway%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us%26sa%3DN
Sorry about the long link hope it works! is it in this sort of area that the phot showes as it could be to remind where the railway was?
just had another look at your blog and the anchor sign is very similar to the one on the red boxes at the Fish market.......
ReplyDeletehave been doing a bit more research on ihe insignia
ReplyDelete`It looks like the royal navy insignia bagdge(?)

I'll try to speak to a couple of people this week who might know more - thanks for the help so far Chris!
