TQ3780 : Sail Makers & Ship Chandlers
taken 11 years ago, near to Poplar, Tower Hamlets, England
Sail Makers & Ship Chandlers
That is the inscription on the front of this remnant from the Old Docklands.
A good word, Chandler. Someone who Chandles.
Logic suggests that there should be a verb "to chandle" but apparently not.
Shame. A good day's chandling could be quite rewarding, I imagine.
Just to check this I Googled "verb chandle" but no result.
Except I now know there is a verb "to candle" meaning to check eggs for cracks.
Another Geograph inspired moment of true trivia.
