Thank you to Drew Shortel for allowing me to reproduce this photo. Drew worked for E Chalmers & Co for 14 years from around 1954, most of this time as a crane driver in Chalmers' scrap yard at Bonnington. Chalmers' scrap yard was on the east side of Newhaven Road, close to the Bonnington Road cross roads. The railway line used to cross diagonally over this cross roads. The scrap yard was across the road from where Comet Discount Warehouse was situated in recent years. |
Drew tells me that the slinger (the man on the ground who helps with the crane operations) in this photo is Joe Welsh. |
