PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

Alec Dowell had a yard at Woolpit, just round the corner from Leggetts. The FOSS was Fred Olsen’s container service to Jeddah. Dowell’s also did tilts for Frans Maas. Their main yard was at Basildon where they managed to get permission for living accommodation on an industrial estate, but only after holding up the construction of the A13 when their old yard was compulsory purchased. I think John, the youngest son, still lives on site.
