River Thames: Gravesend and Bert Prior

            Aggregates carrier Bert Prior sailing up the Rive Thames and passing Gravesend, viewed from across the river, below Tilbury Marshes. Bert Prior is one of a fleet of similar (small) vessels carrying building materials into London, operated by a small local-ish firm, JJ Prior. They have a distinctive, gentle engine note and I like their shape; since coming to Gravesend they've been favourites of mine. Bert Prior is currently at Wivenhoe, on the River Colne, where JJ Prior is based.
Gravesend's Gordon Promenade is just visible, with  Siri Guru Nanak Darbar, the Gravesend Sikh Temple, dominating the skyline. Unlike JJ Prior, the Temple is post my arrival here and I pass it often: it's a lovely building and a superb achievement.
