Yes, Norman, we certainly did.
As kids, we used another wooden style half way between the style in question and the entrance to Deganwy Quay.
One of my best friends, Steven Hughes, died in 1963 after falling between two coal trucks parked up on the docks and I have never forgotten that sad accident.
No doubt, Steven and his other friends will have walked over that second style but that remained there until the Deganwy Dock was developed twenty years later.
In those days, I am unsure if we were allowed to walk onto the docks through that other entrance as there may have been a signal box there as well as the Tuxfords offices.
