Gosh I've not been to Weymouth in years, but it looks just as I remember it! You were certainly very lucky with the weather :D

Thought you might like the pics Becky :)

We did Trellum, wish I could have stopped and taken a pic of the downpour on the way, it just looked like a mile high waterfall :eek:

Oh, if you look at the pic of the sailing ship, behind it in the middle there's a 2 floor extension on the back of the building, I rendered that with lime mortar some years back, not a bad place to work :)

It's also where the Black Death arrived in England in 1348, wiping out half the population :eek:

Lovely pictures Zigs - Weymouth looks to be a really nice place and from what I can see from your photos - looks to have managed to retain a quaint look to it - which in this day and age is fairly rare and thank you - I too had always assumed that the plague stemmed from London.
Glad you managed to escape without those horrendously black clouds depositing on you :D

It's quaint but still with the off season drunkeness :D Nothing else to do once the tourists have gone, saw 2 girls with black eyes :eek:

Nothing like a good fight to while the winter months away :D

The Great Plague of London was three centuries later, in 1665.

Lovely pictures, now I can see where some of the New England port architecture comes from! You Brits do have a knack for creating some stunning towns!

Is there a New Weymouth as well as a New York? :)
