MM - Souvenir - A Morning Dip

This amusing little piece of crested china harks back to more modest times when ladies took to the water in bathing machines. This one is a souvenir of Bognor in Sussex. Oddly enough my wife's great grandfather operated bathing machines in nearby Eastbourne. They were hauled in and out of the sea with the help of a horse, in his case one called Prince. Prince was seconded into the army at the start of the first world war and went to France. Sadly he never returned to Eastbourne. (See yesterday's Flickr post).
