This town is on the sea. (albeit I have no idea if there are are there are not sea gulls in London - lots of pigeons not sure on sea gulls) Hint 2: While admiring the statue one turns arounds and looks up.

However, I'm more curious why it would be illegal to wander off to the mud flats in low tide? What's wrong with that?

And it is not Plymouth The mudlarks were beggars. The children would shout at travelers to throw a penny their way and they would cover themselves in mud at low tide. It was outlawed in the 1800s and then became popular again after WWII Last edited by TomB; 03/02/2021 08:42 PM. “Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés

If I recall correctly it's the Cutty Sark. Been a while since we were there. No Fran, it's HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship, in Portsmouth. Cutty Sark is a merchant ship (Tea Clipper). Tom's earlier photo is a building called The Spinnaker, also in Portsmouth. Mike http://sailingjeannius.blogspot.com
