  • And the smell of the gasworks! Lovely piece of film on an activity never to be repeated

  • I can even remember the sound this thing made as it worked - good to see the Quay not looking like the tourist trap it's become since then.

  • Yes, Up until the late 1960s tourists were not encouraged, as it was intended to be a "working quay".

    Interesting seeing the coal transporter again - my Grandfather (1896-1977) worked for the Bournemouth Gas Undertaking, and I gather that once while working on the "gantry", he slipped and almost fell, but was saved by hanging on by one foot until he was pulled back up- a very near miss
