NORTH QUAY SHIPS IN THE 1950's

Visiting Coasters

By Derek Longly

Back in the 1950's when I was a teenager I had an old Kodak Brownie box camera and, although I lived in Seaford, used to regularly visit Newhaven as my Father was manager of the Co-op Department Store. It was always exciting for me to go down to the quayside to look at the many ships which called and I captured numerous photos.

The ones that called at the North Quay were particularly interesting and here are some that I managed to photograph.

Good to see some photos of these typical visitors from that era. And that's one of the nicest shots of our regular collier Keynes that I've seen in a long time.

Thanks for your input Andy. These days I am an exile from my home town but have very fond memories both from my early visits and later when I lived there. I will be supplying further pictures and comments over time.
