Out of curiosity I've just scanned a slide which has been lurking at the bottom of an old shoe box for many a year. I'm surprised that such a beastie wasn't consigned to the bin as soon as I clapped eyes on it many moons ago. It's so underexposed I didn't think my scanner would be able to punch through it.
So for a bit of fun I offer it here for your consideration, and any comments, caustic or otherwise
The modern office block on the left, and the "new" landing stage at South Shields are noteworthy, the landing stage which came into service in July 1999 was constructed by Harbour & General at the Pallion Yard, Sunderland
I think the photo dates from about 2003
