DENTON ISLAND

The first photo also shows Bridge Works Engineering Workshop (the white building) with part of Sefton Terrace to its right, and across the river behind the cranes Denton Terrace.

The second photo also taken from Riverside, now North Way shows a good shot of the Vikings Sea Scout Barge, this was used as their headquarters. Lower's the boatbuilders used the black shed seen here in the Shipyard now Robinson Road.

Ken was later to become purser on the Falaise.

My father, Arthur Woolford, worked in the Bridge Works building, as a toolmaker for H.R.Electrics.

I can remember sitting waiting for him to finish work and looking out of his workshop window, which was the top right window in the white building, overlooking the bridge in the photo.

Arthur died in 1977 and, as far as I am aware , H.R.Electrics was still a going concern at the time.

David I worked with your father at HR electrics for a while in the early seventies. Great guy with a wry sense of humour. He was always amused at the individuals that passed through the factory, there was certainly a mixture of individuals. He worked with Frank Sloots as I recall.
