Still Occupied
Images on this site are arranged into rough areas by location as in my book 'Still Occupied', available on Blurb. Eventually this site will contain all the images in that book and more.
Taken through the girders of the steel swing bridge which took the road and a single rail track across the entrance lock to Albert Dock. This bridge was across the centre of the lock was later replaced by a much less sturdy structure taking just a footpath across close to the other gate. The footpath also runs across the inside dock gate as an alternative route.
Albert dock was full of vessels but there was very little movement in or out of the dock and Hull's fishing fleet was largely idle. Fish were I think still being landed, but now by Icelandic vessels.
