Wallsend Slipway

This view of Wallsend Slipway seems to be taken from the other side of Willington Gut.
Unfortunately some defacing to the photo over the name on the shed, but it does say Wallsend Slipway & Engineers.
Interesting craft alongside.

Kevin has found a better copy of the above photo and it is a higher resolution that shows the launch in more detail.
