Hi
I found this picture of Glasson Dock among the stuff that came with Claudia. Some people may not have seen it before

Could that be a mini (first made in 1959) outside the caribou.

What a gem. A few years ago Val arranged a guided tour by Dr White from the university. He spoke about a dry dock in the past. Is that a lock gate at the top left of the quay?

At the top left is the dry dock, you can still see the entrance in the stonework. The expanding exhaust factory was probably a sideline of Nicholson's boatyard which used to build coastal sailing vessels in the drydock.

If its OK with Chris, I have saved the picture and will include it in the archive section of our website when I have got it up to date.

I was wondering what date to put on it and wonder if it was before the Liverpool Dock Strike ( 1995 - 1998) when the dock came back into use for coal imports - because in the picture, all we see is pleasure boats in the Dock.

Whilst looking into it, I came across an interesting PDF from the council this spring:

Date is before the founding of G.S.C and if my suggestion of a Mini outside the Caribou after 1958.

Is it definitely a mini George?

perhaps a mini van?

and, seeing as it would be almost brand new, why is it parked on rough ground?

The other car on the waste ground looks like a Ford 100E Popular/Prefect/Anglia. If it is one then the other motor is the right size for a mini.
