From the USSR with timber - a photo on Flickriver

From the USSR with timber

            This schoolboy capture of a Soviet vessel discharging its cargo of timber dates from November 1967, just two years before Victoria Dock in Hull was closed and later infilled. Housing stands on the site today. Victoria Dock opened in 1850 and was extended in 1863. Timber was one of the main cargoes handled, much of it coming from the Baltic region. I surmise that the consignment seen here was destined for the coalfields of the West Riding, to be used as pit-props. Little did I imagine how fundamentally Hull's long-established patterns of commerce would change within a handful of years.
