I spotted a few old pictures of Eastham Ferry on these links -

Jobs Ferry, which is just a short walk away from The Tap pub. Said to have been sited there since the 15th century. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/645963

I walked down those steps last time I was over there as the tide was out.

Mimosa Tea Garden's Facebook if anyone is interested in checking them out before maybe drooping in for a coffee -  https://www.facebook.com/mimosateagarden/

The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long, and you've burned so very, very brightly, Jürgen.

They've made my day SoS.
I love the extended pier and it illustrates what a (modern) ferry looks like, imagine what the Monks ferry would be like - fascinating.

I've been to the Ferry pub loads of times and I've never seen a pic of that arch, I don't even think there's one inside the pub.

Thanks mate.

I'm glad you liked them.  :)

It's great seeing it how it used to look all those years ago.
