In dreadful weather conditions, 47156 stands next to Berth 106 in Southampton Western Docks with a short term flow of car traffic returning empty to Dagenham Dock as 4Z76 booked to depart at 10:15 on the 11 January 1996. 24 years on, these wagons still visit Eastern Docks with Minis from Cowley.
Thought i would have a go at getting a shot while i was at the Albert dock.Not normally what i do so felt out of my comfort zone.
I had been told that the dock here had been replaced, so I wanted to see it. I had hoped that there would have been some fall colors, but I wasn't so lucky....oh well, I will have to go back, lol!

This is the far end of the docks, and good to see the lightship is still there.

Anderson Dock with the Hardy Gallery. The building is covered with bright, colorful signatures and handprints by families, couples, and everyone in between. The dock is quite popular with couples who have marked important dates in their relationship like a first date or wedding anniversary. See the prvious post for a closeup of the graffiti.
Taken sometime in the 1990s with Ilford XP2 film (B&W film processed using C41 chemistry).
I liked the sepia tone result as it invokes nostalgia for a beloved place.

A pair of Dock Bugs actually doing their thing on a Dock leaf!
The Dock Bug (Coreus marginatus) is a large and mottled reddish-brown squashbug with a broad, oval abdomen. The two small projections between the antennae are diagnostic.
There is one generation per year, adults mating and laying eggs in spring. The nymphs feed on dock and other related plants in the Polygonaceae; new adults may be found from August onwards. The Dock Bug is common and widepread in southern Britain, including Ireland, where it may be found in a variety of dry and damp habitats.
Liverpool
Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses. It was designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick. When it opened in 1846 it was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, stone and brick, with no structural wood. This resulted in it being the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
When it was built it was considered a revolutionary docking system as the ships were loaded and unloaded directly from and to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Because of its open but secure design it became a popular store for valuable goods, including brandy, tea, cotton, tobacco, silk, sugar and ivory.
Despite the docks advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years larger docks were required. It did however remain a store for cargo.
During the WWll it was requisitioned by the Admiralty. It served as a base for vessels of the British Atlantic Fleet. It was badly damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the Blitz in May of 1941. After the war ended the financial problems of the owners and the decline of docking in the city meant that its future was uncertain. Many plans were put forward for the re-use of the buildings, nothing happened and in 1972 the dock was closed. It lay derelict for about ten years. Redevelopment started in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, it was officially re-opened in 1984.
Today it is a tourist attraction, and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside London. It is part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City. The complex and warehouses also comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK, many of which are bars, restaurants and shops.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I love this image of Hobart Docks in Tasmania, Australia. The lighting and the and scenery give it an almost painterly look. I hope you like it too! Cheers Adam
Cacilhas, the small location where the ferryboats dock directly across from Lisbon, features some of the best restaurants specialised in fresh fish and seafood in the region. It is also a great place to sit in one of its several pavement cafés along the promenade while enjoying one of the best views of Lisbon, lying across the river.
