Another "in house" book that landed on my lap a few years ago is a nicely illustrated history of Wallsend Slipway from the years 1871 to 1921. Although the company was primarily an Engineering concern (building and fitting machinery to ships built elswhere) andthe book reflects this, but there are many photos of the actual ships. Even as a "Deckie" I can appreciate the skill shown in the Engine photos...well worth a look. The entire book has only 44 pages. It more or less follows a format of a photo page followed by a text page, so I'm sticking to the original format. As always, due to the size constraints of posted photos, there is a slight reduction in quality from the original 2mb or more. Also just as usual, I'm more than happy to send a "full" definition CD to anyone who wants one..on receipt of a blank CD etc.
So.....on with the motley.
