MORE 1950's CALLERS AT NORTH QUAY
Kodak box camera photos from my teens
By Derek Longly
Having discovered in my early teens how fascinating the harbour could be at Newhaven I would take every opportunity to travel over on the Southdown bus, or the train, from Seaford to explore. My trusty Kodak box camera went everywhere with me and I happily snapped anything that floated. Here are a few more interesting callers at the port from those uncomplicated and happy days.
On one occasion, (exciting for me), I managed to get on board the " Beverleygate " of Hullgates Shipping Co. In later years I went aboard a good many other coasters but mostly at Shoreham and this particular visit is memorable in being one of my earliest opportunities to go on board a real salt caked, hard working ship.
