Wivenhoe Shipyard from the air. Bottom centre is Wivenhoe Station and bottom right is the goods shed.
Wivenhoe
station from the air! Note there is a canopy on platform 2 (the Clacton
bound platform). Platform 1's canopy is twice the size it is now.
Bottom right is the GOODS shed. To the left of this is the stable block.
Note all the sidings towards the waterfront. Follow the track from the
goods shed towards the water and there is a small hut type building,
with a square on the track in front of it. That was the weigh office,
for weighing the trucks before export/import.
All the sidings have hoses now built in their place. Stable block still
there as well as the goods shed but in a sorry state. Nice picture!
Thanks for the extra information, sorry i don't have your name.
Picture was taken in 1948.
Sorry forgot to leave my name!
