Re: Continual Quiz on The Bristol Channel(13)

I presume it is the Longships, but the only gruesome story I know relates to the Eddystone (sea area Plymouth /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ) where a keeper received a mouthful of molten lead while trying to put out a fire in the roof

Aah! So it was the Smalls where the decomposing body of a keeper was kept, so the other guy wouldn't be accused of murder?? Hence after that there were always 3 duty keepers

Are we talking Milford? As in Haven and Sound?

 

[damo]

Re: Continual Quiz on The Bristol Channel(13)

Yes it's Milford Sound, named after Milford Haven. Described by Rudyard Kipling as the eighth wonder of the world, and it's also one of the wettest places in the world /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
