| 'Nelson', the 200 ton lift travelling gantry built in 1919 by Cowan and Sheldon. In the English Heritage Report 39-2013, page 60, Edgeworth states that this gantry was removed in 1948 while this photo is dated 1952.
In this view it is close to the two shorter velocity screen masts. However, see EAW039859 dated 20 Aug 1951; the gantry is near the wharf on the left. Then in EAW048562 / 3 & 66, all dated 31 March 1953, the gantry is back near the wharf. It looks pretty certain that he gantry was not removed in 1948 and was still used after that date. |
