    So many memories.
    They remind me so much of the times when I was young. Their clothing, hair, shoes etc. Even the housing is the same.
    Behind green areas like this the heavy industry worked on.
    Social history is a wonderful thing to study.

    The man far left in the pale clothes is my grandfather Peter Ross Smith, he was manager of the shipyard when the Kelly was built and worked alongside Mountbatten. He received a signed letter of thanks and a signed photo from Mountbatten in 1939 (we still have them), and I have three of the flags that flew from the Kelly. He would have been approx 48 years old in that photo.

    My son just started in the Navy, so shared your photo with him, thought it would let him see how things used to be before all this technology. Great photos!

    Looks like HMS Kelly spent three periods in the shipyard - once as a result of storm damage, the second as a result of hitting a mine and the third following a torpedo attack by E-boats. www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-10DD-38K-Kelly.htm
