The ARP, NFS or bomb disposal representative oversees the damage as a survey is undertaken to assess and record the extent of the damage caused by the land mine of 1st July 1941. The steel rail sections are bent like a giant has twisted them over his knee! 'Nasty' says my granddaughter Cerys! [367]

More onlookers! The large chunks of steel and ironwork wreckage are probably the remains of the winches used to deploy the moveable coal tips number 19 and 20 which by this date had been removed at some date after the 1936 closure of the dock. A colourised enlargement. [367]

There I wos, a diggin' this 'ole! The coping stones of the quay wall don't appear to have moved an inch despite the blast. The rails adjacent to the side of the dock were those for the dockside cranes to traverse upon. These are as shown on the GWR track layout plan. [367]
