Oh dear! Technical clothing back then I suppose? They'd fit in well with an old episode of Dr Who.

Interesting text and great photo - thanks! Looking back, it's tempting to say that countries are better off when they're the workshops of the world than under post-industrial economies.

Could be a turret for the battleship HMS Monarch as that was under construction at Elswick in 1911.

Oh wow this is a fantastic photo! Very atmospheric! I kinda forgot these things are assembled 'dirty' and then dismantled, painted and placed onto a ship..

13.5 inch calibre Paul. Monarch mounted 10 of these guns in 5 turrets. As a footnote the Japanese battleships Yamato & Musashi mounted the largest guns in history at 18 inch calibre. The armoured plates on the turret faces were 25 inches thick.

That's madness Billy. Mind saying that, it's how warfare was carried out on the seas then. Now it's missiles and aircraft..
