Luke goes to the Dive Centre near there and he seems to think it was being lived in. Andy said he saw something in the Echo about it being used also. Maybe you need to have a recce and see what you can find out Rob on one of your walkabouts. We may even try to have a nose ourselves once this weeks over, if we get a nice day.

Hey Andy,

I thought they may have had it as part of the port, but was never sure, hope they will use it. :o)

Hi Sylv,

Yeah I like that little building, even though it's mainly brick. ;o)

I hope it is in use, at least we know it will stay then.
Sorry to hear that about the uncle, I bet he would have had a tale or two to tell.

The strip...ah yeah, an appropriate name too.:o)

It looks a real solid building and it's a shame that so many of these buildings disappear in favour of some of today's modern stuff. Surely it could,as you say Rob, be put to good use. My uncle was posted to Portland during the war and no doubt was in and out of this building as well as some of the pubs along the 'strip'. I know he did sentry duty at the top of the cliffs along by the YOI, but sadly, he is gone now and I can't ask him any questions about his time here.
