History of Artefact ‘I had an elderly friend, Mr.Penney, he lived on the corner of my road – I used to watch out for him. When he died, in the early 1980s, he left me all of these bits and pieces. He was in the navy and joined as a Naval Seaman. He left as a Petty Officer.’
The photograph was taken on the Iron Duke ship (nicknamed after the Duke of Wellington.
Historian John Stedman
Previous Owners Mr.Penney
Special Memories ‘I looked after him when he was old. His family circumstances were not very good – so I took care of him. He would put an ornament in the window if he was ill so that I would know.’
