Very nice mate, I love old dock cranes. I remember trying to find a way into the ones in Bristol docks when I was a kid.

IIRC the last time Inchgreen was used to fabricate anything was the "Valiant" jetty for Faslane - there's already a floating dock there, so this is just a glorified mooring. Albeit it's the same length, and displaces as much, as an aircraft carrier ...

Nice cranes - were these built by Arrols?

Anywho, I like the look of the old dock cranes, I can see the Excel centre ones from work...all nicely painted and sitting empty :(
