This pic with the lake, that has disappeared now, really brings back memories.
The two palm trees that had been forgotten by most of us are preserved here. The damage caused by a cannon ball in 1857 can be seen on the Lat. It was never repaired.
So many hours were spent on the bank when we were juniors, sailing boats and fishing with hooks fashioned from pins. The boats ranged from those made from paper to better ones from ice cream spoons with a mast, paper sail and piece of razor blade for a rudder. Summer evenings, especially on Saturday movie days, passing time at the lakeside waiting for the supper bell to ring.
