got photos of manchester docks on here
Dunno if this counts Mr 141 as its just outside Felixstowe Docks…My old 111 taken around 1986…I think I was waiting to lift an empty box off somewhere…the days before sliders had even been thought of and if you took those roundabouts a little to quick with a loaded 20 foot it was heart in mouth time
Happy Days
