I wonder how many recognise these gates ??
I was surprised to see the old gates of the old Smiths no 8 dock North Shields (the big one) still exist, they concreted a wall behind and then filled in the lot.
It is somewhat amusing to think when they build house there I wonder how many will realise they are sitting over the dock which is still below them!
On the bright side the houses can only sink so far !!
