View from Brigham & Cowan

A view over Brigham & Cowan on 2 March 1980. The Arun class lifeboat George and Olive Turner appears to have taken up residence in the disused dry dock and amongst the dozen (at least) vessels in the background are: Saudi Prince at Commissioners’ Quay, a Fisher heavy-lift RoRo in the Albert Edward Dock, the Iranian oiler Kharg in dock at Smiths and RFA Tidepool alongside.

The collier might be in Hadley colours?

Just blew the collier up and appears to have a yellow funnel with a black top and some sort of white shield in the middle

Yes agree George that does look like her and the funnel matches

DFDS vessel in river is either SUFFOLK or SUSSEX
Behind the SAUDI is a Danish coaster. Initial thinking is PEP or MERCANDIAN prefix but it's probably another of that series of which a few came into Blyth in those days.
Yes its CYMBELINE at the buoys - owned by Hadleys with HSC on the funnel which was often called Hadley Sunshine Cruises.
Two ships further up at Redheads look as if they are sisters, possibly BOW dredgers because of the shape of their accommodation block wings
