I'm a sixties child Yorkie so it's much older than Me. A fantastic film.

Was it Hitchcock?

I don't think it was Hichcock but certainly a great film and one that is always remembered.  Probably loads of info on the Internet.     ££$

Available on video in 10 parts on youtube

Absolutely correct, and I bet you didn't even wander near the red light district or visit a cafe for a coffee and a "puff"!     L0L

Here is a poser.  This ship was so big they had to build the prow in the street.

Question, Which Street,  Which Town,  Which Ship.   All three answers required for the points!

The cars give the date as a clue!

What?  I adore football ... I played thousands of games of it...despite being the worst footballer ever.
This is why my knees are now completely wrecked!

The Street - Leslie Street.

The Town - Wallsend, Tyneside.

The Ship - The Esso Norhumbria "The big' un" (the largest vessel to have been built in Britain at that time. Its tonnage was 253,000 tonnes and its length was 1,350 ft.)

The date - 1969.

The shipyard - Swan Hunter.

Leslie Street together with neighbouring streets, Hunter Street, Davis Street, Gerald Street and Camp Road are now demolished allowing for the excavations of the Roman Fort Segedunum.

You're just too clever for me.   It was a fantastic sight and I was able to go to the launch as I had supplied some of the cranes for the construction.     $good$

I'll have to get something really difficult next!      >>>

that was a big ship,but only a puddle jumper compared to the vessel that left kishorn in 1978,the ninian central platform,it had six tugs at the front pulling her and didnt start to move for the first twenty minutes.it has been out in the north sea for thirty years and could be de-ballasted and moved making it the largest floating vessel made in the uk.i know cos i was there.

Interesting, and do you know that I sold the Tower Cranes to Howard Doris who built it!   They were made at the factory in Killarney, Ireland and shipped direct to Loch Kishorn as there were inadequate roads from the nearest dock which was Leith in Edinburgh, miles away.

There is a great video here:

Don't know the name but is it the one on the right on the road from The Groes Inn to Rowen.   Can't find the name anywhere.
