Symbol of Lundy independence

Oldest inhabitant of Lundy 

This picture shows Mr F.W. Gade, oldest inhabitant and agent of Lundy in defiant attitude. He leans against a tablet at the beach ‘threshold.’ It reads ‘This island is entirely private property. There are no public roads, footpaths or rights of ways whatever hereon.’

The tablet was placed there early last century when the ‘pirates’ of Trinity House had the ‘audacity’ to put a ‘landing place’ tablet of their own there.
