Former pub, Ker Street, Plymouth
Tucked away behind Foulston's town hall was the Crown and Column. Late Georgian. Grade II listed.
It is due to be converted to flats. One hopes a plaque is retained as it recalls the building's origins as a "lodge and boarding house for stonemasons working on the new dockyard".

Devonport Dockyard - capstan engine
A duplex capstan engine built c1904 and used in the dockyard. It was used on steam originally but after WWII was converted to copmressed air operation. There is a 'hard hat' diving suit alongside. I think this was on the camera's built in flash (Canon EOS 50E).
The location of this building is a bit of a guess. There is also a hangman's cell in this complex. Allegedly 141 French prisoners of war were execyted here and it is home to the country's only workable gallows.
This part of the dockyard is no longer on the public tours but a new heritage area is apparently being developed.

Devonport dockyard - compressed air engine
I went on a tour of the publicly accessible part of the dockyard in 2002 from a ship on a round Britain cruise. Tucked away between two buildings and with the rope walk in the background we found this duplex engine that I think drove a capstan and was run on compressed air. A further example was found in an indoor exhibition area. There is also a working hangman's drop in the same range of buildings. I must scan some images from this trip.
