Training Hostel Limehouse in 1920 until his death The PWSTS commissioned a Quarter Deck Bell in his honour. This bell was used throughout the history of the PWSTS, Ingham until the closure of the PWSTS at Dover in 1975. However, sometime in 1975 the bell was lost and to date all attempts to locate its whereabouts have met with negative results. It is suspected that it may have been illegally smelted near Limehouse when artefacts and stores were returned to London on closure. Rev. and Mrs Peach circa 1902
