Post by: simon c on June 06, 2009, 06:34:36 PM
Managed to get out for few hours in the rain,did'nt find much,but i did find a nice button,Any ideas on the lettering would be very wellcome,seems to be a Gothic type script and i'm not much good at reading it,looks to me some thing like P.D.E.P ? any idea's on what it stands for ?,i'm thinking along the lines of a Passenger ship or steam ship ????

Thats an interesting find - no idea though on the initials. Certainly looks like it has a maritime link.

Well done Simon!

Cheers
Neil
