    I always show my dad your pictures Snappel. He is interested in the docks too and always marvels at the amazing brickwork and workmanship that has gone into those buildings.

    I'm glad he likes them! There are some amazing buildings down there, but because they're tucked away they don't often get seen.

    Thats why we have you to expose these hidden gems.

    More hidden gems should be hidden so we can have Snappel exposing them and so he can do more secret agent poses on rooftops with censored faces.

    Ha ha, yes! But there's enough for me to try and find without more being hidden!! Unfortunately buildings sometimes get demolished without warning, so I'm trying to see as much as possible and get some last snaps before they go.

    As for the rooftop ohotos... well, there'll always be more of them, and this forum is one of the first places they'll be posted. More of them soon...

    Yes, great photos of a great clocktower. I love the docker's clock, just wish it wasn't in such a poor state. I look forward to seeing it tidied up.

    Brilliant pics Snappel

    Regarding safety in the North Docks, you could write something about being attacked by Mommy/Daddy Canada Geese! Bad time of the year to be getting near them in the North Docks while they're protecting their chicks.

    If I was a Bernard Manning Loving Bigot living in the 70s, I'd joke that the Canada Geese were more dangerous than an Upper Parly Pimp!

    Took me ages to get the bottle to try and sneak In to take a shot of the clock tower but couldn't find anymore openings to get close enough for a good shot.

    Thanks Snappel anyway for your Pm.

    One on SSC thought I didn't acknowledge him In a pm over getting Into places but I don't even know him and don't think he pm'ed me over anything?

    Max crackin pic,

    I often have a stroll around the old docks with my little digital 3OO foot zoom camera, I shall be doing it alot more this summer. The new generation of buidings are soon to take over this area, which has been barren and laid to waste for far too long. Great times ahead.



    Heres a pic I took recently Click image for larger version.
