These show the city docks while still working and were taken by him or his father over a long period of time. Such as pictures of the 'Harry Brown' sand dredger on its first trip out to sea, pictures of the city docks with shipping, avonmouth docks, and various shots of industry around bristol. Many of his stories revolve around the brewery and the pubs of bristol, his father and his family were all publicans etc. so trips to the brewery were not uncommon. He can even remember the Georges greys.

These again were taken by my father in the early sixties. I am not sure whether it was the first working outing of the 'Harry Brown', but was very early in her life. The Brown brothers used to have the occassional trip out on the boat for pleasure. I undertstand that the interior was rather good.
