I can find no details about this little character perched up in a birds nest, any info would be gratefully received.
The mast is a half-scale replica of HMS Redcar, a ‘Racecourse’ class minesweeper that was sunk on 24th June 1917 near Dover.
Update 2/3/2011 : The mast and most of the old tourist information centre were demolished today. It looks like the plaques were taken away beforehand, hopefully the little cat was rescued too !
I believe the information on the plaque about the sinking of HMPS Redcar is incorrect. At the time of the sinking the Redcar and Kempton were involved in pair sweeping, the Redcar was first to strike a mine, the Kempton came in to pick up survivors and in turn hit a mine.
Thanks for that, not the first time i’ve seen inaccuracies on a blue plaque.
