Bricks, Brickmen and Barges

It was a very busy day today, quite wet at times.  In fact, we got soaked on our usual Tuesday morning walk. It was a fun night at our Tuesday evening walking group.  We had a two-lap route of 7.759 km and we had to guess how long it would take us to complete the distance. I checked our last four walks with the club, took an average and came up with a time.  That didn’t work, as we were 7 minutes faster than our guesstimate, so no prize for us. It was only when we arrived home that I realised I hadn’t managed a blip today, so I took a photo of an interesting linocut by Hugh Ribans hanging on our wall.  It was commissioned by the Westmoreland Trust CIC, which seeks to restore the Thames sailing barge Westmoreland as a training vessel and working exhibit of the historic age when the brickfields and barges of North Kent played a key role in the growth of Victorian London and ranked alongside Chatham Dockyard as the leading local employer. There is also a booklet produced by the Westmoreland Trust -
