'Seaford'

[davidwheeler]

This is 'Seaford' rising up Bumblehole Lock on the Staffs & Worcs. The year 1975 I think. Everything looking very smart so, perhaps, off to a Rally. Someone may recognise the captain. Or it could be you.

Most likely Bob Derricott as he owned Seaford at that time, a picture would allow confirmation.

That is a very fair criticism, Pluto. I will have another go.

I think auto-correct changes mis-spellings of "definitely" to "defiantly".

 

I see it so often I'm beginning to wonder if the meaning of the two words is beginning to converge.

Although Seaford was well known for passing through locks sideways, I've taken the liberty of altering it to the more common method.  Mainly for the convenience of those not in the know, and of course at the cost of authenticity.
