John W: We had some sailmakers in the village. We had a man called Mr Attrill who had a shop down on the Point, and he made sails, and then latterly Mr Coombes started from St Helen’s. He made sails for people didn’t he for the fishermen.

John L: Ginger, my mate. He was in the Navy with me.

John W: Yeah, Ginger. It was only a side-line to help the fishermen out and used to get your supplies from this Mr Attrill as well.
