Having just recently witnessed the filling in of the Docks at North Shields I thought that some pictures of the docks in their Haydays might be nice.
This is an artist impression of No. 8 Dock by Sydney G. Ferris dated 1954.

Another photograph of the new dock with the added bonus of a great view down river. Also a photograph looking north over North Shields with the old gas works, and Ralph Gardner school in the distance.

View of new dock looking north

Splendid view of Minton Lane Gas Works as well, Terry.

Thanks.
