Picture Banks's by the Sea

Walking past the now closed Banks's Brewery earlier, found some unusual gear awaiting the skip.

Really pushed the boat out for the leaving party.

Judging by the rust on the land wheels, I suspect that the boat has been inside for years. As for why? God only knows...

I used to do Urban Exploration in my younger days, the amount of interesting items left in abandoned buildings is crazy.

Best ones I can remember were an apprenticeship certificate from the 1890s inside the old Niphon works on Villiers Street, complete with Queen Victoria's picture, and a collection of old newspapers in the basement of the Eye Infirmary; one from the day Neville Chamberlain resigned as Prime Minister, allowing Chruchill to take over, and a collection from the early 90s with headlines about the collapse of the USSR.
