It has a great carving of a seal above the gates. I was very intrigued about what this company did. Turns out it was for making Fur. From Seals. Bit sad - one always forgets the Victorians were pretty mean. Nevermind. <a href="https://tigergrowl.wordpress.com/other-pages/the-alaska-factory-bermondsey/">Interesting read</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18318#post-294672 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:38:06 +0000 paulmilne 294672@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh wow, thanks for the heads up @unhurt! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18318#post-294670 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:35:49 +0000 unhurt 294670@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh, I see!

Has nightvision too! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18318#post-294663 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 15:50:54 +0000 paulmilne 294663@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fantastic! I can hear them but I can't see nothing yet ...

Makes me homesickish. Just watched a wader picking over the tang.
