    10 years up and down in that cage 50 men to a deck and nearly 2000ft at the deepest point, then 8 miles under the North Sea. Hard graft. The heat it was like Dante's Inferno.

    I agree.
    Some buildings remain to this day but the North Bank has mostly been modernised and rebuilt on.

    I'd love a good look in the museum photo collections!

    a great shot, and a reminder that the North East was once a global player in many fields.
    I looked around the Discovery Museum a couple days ago and saw some fantastic models of ships built here.
