Back to the barracks.
This week's Saturday Timewatch features a superb photo taken in 1898. The Northumberland Fusiliers are marching back to their Verne Citadel barracks after a St. George's Day parade. Compare to the modern photo below and you can see two bridges that carry the road over rail inclines that took stone from Tophill quarries down to Portland Port. You can also see the line of houses middle right of the photos.
