On the way home I got off the DFDS ferry in Le Havre and nipped around to here just in case it was open, sadly not.

Yes Trev_H it was CUNARD at one time back in the late '70’s and early '80’s. Friend of a friend did all their container movements from there.

Thanks for that Gazzer, I remember walking past it when I used to park at the baths on Western esplanade in the 70’s/80’s.
