Camroux coasters

If anyone has photos of the Camroux fleet (other than the 2 on the site) they will be very welcome, I am in touch with a man who has researched the company's railway wagons and may work up an illustrated fleet list, with permissions of course. There are a few more on the shipbuilding site. CAMROUX III was first reg to Q. M. Camroux & Co. before transferring to Newcastle Coal and Shipping Co. who were the owners of I, II and IV (last one was 1938-1942 only). They were all London registered. I suspect that Camroux owned the Newcastle company but if not, must surely have been the manager and main customer. We know they loaded in Blyth (where else?) and I have reports of discharge at Ipswich and also at Fulham, where the company had a wharf and distribution of coal in the London area. Any further info most welcome!
