It must have been very disappointing after waiting so long to see it. I would have waited there ages myself if Iwas nearer.
Having said that it has made me laugh this morning , imagining 20 great big shires towing the anchor and trying to get round a roundabout!
and then not likeing the tarmac but preferring good old fashioned cobbles. Just shows how hard it is to try and recreate a moment from history.
More about the Titanic anchor event....anyone go?

On Channel 4 at 9.00p.m. on Monday, 26th September they are showing number 1 of 5 programmes "Titanic: the Mission" I've been told that one of these programmes will be of the procession which took place from Dudley-Netherton in August.
Thanks for the links Carol, just catching up on the forum after being on my hols.

Roberto: Went to Devon for a couple of days then on to Cornwall for 8 days, staying in Falmouth as a base. Really enjoyed it, thanks for asking. This year we've been venturing to our old haunts of 20plus years ago and haven't some places been spoilt by commercialism? Progress I suppose they'd call it.

It's always a temptation to retrace your steps and try to relive happy memories Barb.
