Coastguard - a family business

On Monday and being the school holidays we had to go to Poole, so popped into the Sector Office on the quay for coffee and doughnuts.

As stated before the office has been refurbished and is looking smart (well not as good as our building but nearly!)

The room is much bigger and provides the Sector Manager with much more room, it even has a creche facility!

Above the children are sat at the table, two are counting key rings and the other one is trying to build something he saw on Blue Peter the other day out of card and sticky back plastic!

Meanwhile in the down stairs office, builders got carried away with a drill and discovered this old window. The building dates back to the 18th Century and the thought is this may have been part of the a cell for the drunken sailors! Being of historic importance, this feature has had to be opened up and the relevant authorities are deciding how best to display it.
