Hi Oily, that bucket is a skimmer. I never had any experience of them, only excavators, but somebody who I worked with told me he had one at a firm he worked at and hated it so much he buried it. (just the jib with the bucket). It was found again though.

Hi gom, being a fan of Fred Dibnah, I remember seeing it on the telly, if I remember rightly, he had to twist a few arms to get permission to cross the bridge, though I can’t remember why.

Nice pic’ of the old Seddon crossing Tower Bridge, but more interesting is the Hays Wharf Albion half-cab behind , maybe for carrying timber/girders/steel-rod in longer lengths on the nearside?

One of Davis Bros. again crossing Tower Bridge, see the lads hitching a ride on the trailer just passed going the other way , couldn’t see “Plod” letting them get away with that today
