We walked out to the beach at Winchelsea, all shingle, to the Mary Stanford Lifeboat House, unused since its crew went out to save a Latvian boat in the English channel in the early hours of 15 November 1928, the boat capsized and all seventeen were lost. The lifeboat house has not been used ever since:-

Thank you ! It’s a long way… Charles
I see someone else has commented on the photographs – really excellent. The sky is unbelievably blue. What a potent memorial but I imagine there must be a more official one.
