The lifeboat station sits right at the
top of the Platt.  

From 1869 to 1933, the lifeboat
station was in what is now the
Boathouse stores next to the  Old
School Hotel up the hill on Fore
Street.  The boat had to be pulled
down Fore Street with an iron
carriage and ropes, barely fitting
through the narrow street.

window on the side of the station
to get in because he needs the
defibrillator to save Caroline.
