89. Coal Bunkers and Shaft, 9/9/21.

Panning slightly to the right from the previous view, this (slightly enhanced) photo shows the steam crane at work, and the loco just visible by the A frame. Not all the loaded wagons were shunted by locomotive as some poor fellows are seen pushing skips along towards the Ferry House Inn, where the spoil was used to build out the river bank. The results of the crane’s excavations can be seen to the right, where the wharf wall, constructed in a trench on the river bank (see photos 1 and 2) has been exposed to the river.
