HOOD working on Corporation pier, wonder if JOHN JAMES is used by JD to get ships in/out of his drydock?

[Whickham]

Patrick, where is John Dean's drydock?

[Patrick Hill]

It is down the river Hull off Lime Street

Thanks Patrick, I presume that is the former Yorkshire DD site?

[Patrick Hill]

No Dave, it was a small company, formerly Brown's. YDD was further south on Lime Street and their drydocks were on the west side along Dock Office row.

[Whickham]

Gotcha. Thanks Patrick.

Amazing looking at the narrowness and twists of the River Hull, to think that we had coasters up at Gilyott's above Clough Road bridge, and of course all those ships coming down from the Beverley shipyard.
