This is a British Railways ferry (later Sealink) at an unknown port, possibly in the southeast of the country. If you've got any ideas how we can date or identify the ferry or the port, then let us know below!

I don't think this is in UK. There is a continental-style "no left turn" sign slightly left of centre. There also appear to beseveral VW beetles and a palm tree. Which isa bit of a mystery as it's definitely a British Railways logo on the funnel. My recollection is that they sailed to northern France, Holland,perhaps, and Ireland.

I think this could be either the Cambria or the Hibernia, which went between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.... have a look at this enthusiast's photos... ...are there palm trees in Dun Laoghaire?
