Quayside Evening by Rodney Charman. A quiet evening in the harbour area of Poole, Dorset, England, during the 19th century. Men stand outside the Kings Arms Inn as the sail rigged sailing ships are shown in the distance. |
Merlin Chorus by Anthony Saunders. The Battle of Britan - 13th August 1940. Fresh from a successful action over a marauding group of Me110s and Me109s attempting to raid port facilities at Portland during the Battle of Britain, Spitfires of 152 Squadron return to their base at Warmwell to refuel and rearm. As the distinctive sound of their Merlin engines echoes around Lulworth Cove, one of the Spitfires - hit during the engagement - is starting to smoke. Thankfully all will land safely, ready to continue the bitter struggle while Goerings Luftwaffe begin to intensify their attacks as they try to gain air superiority during one of the most decisive battles ever fought. |
Poole Quay by Gaslight by Rodney Charman. The near empty harbour-front of Poole during the 19th century, the large masted sailing ships stand quiet as a coalman loads his cart for the morning deliveries. |
The Customs House by Rodney Charman. Sailors and workmen gather to listen to the Salvation Army . Shopkeepers and housewives come to their doorways and customs officers stop work to hear the singing in front of the Customs House on Poole Quay on a winters evening in 1905. The Customs House was erected on the site of a previous building that burnt down in 1813. The design of the building was based on the Guildhall with steps leading up to the first floor where transactions were made. Weighing, examination and storage took place on the ground floor. The wooden mast with twin arms is a replica of the Town Beam which used to weigh goods taken into and out of the town. |
