There are some incredible photos of Doxford Engines in its machine shops. It's hard to believe that all has gone now though and all those skills lost - a shame..

This feels 'alive' and almost moving. I'm pleased that these images were saved to be shown again. Thanks for posting.

I'm very much enjoying the shipbuilding images. The unanswered question is why it all disappeared so quickly?

Prefer the colour of these old images as opposed to modern ones. Yes, it all went very quickly. Ill bet the people watching this launch never imagined it happening in their lifetime.
