These photographs were taken from the same vantage point at the same time from the fourth (or fifth) floor of a Wincolmlee Warehouse at some point before 1979. Before ’79 presumably because there’s still steam emanating from the Sculcoates power station cooling tower, in the distance behind Scott Street Bridge.
It’s great to see the Jondor in her prime after seeing her moored at Beverley the other week. Mac tells us she used to run heavy oil to the Foss in York. The Yorkshire Dry Dock Co. is in full swing and there’s a lovely view down river to North Bridge. The photographer has captured the scene perfectly, but the slides are found and the photographer unknown. If anyone has any further information about the photographer or photographs, please get in touch.
