About St Clements church. Either side of the top window are cannon balls. There are many stories about how they got there. The tale I was told when I lived there is that one ball was fired by Dutch pirates, and many years later, the second ball was carved out of the bricks, to match the first one.

I loved the The winkle suit of Slogger Hoad !

The funicular is quite something. If you have no head for heights-don’t !
