A huge thank you for the information provided. Each day I walk past the existing jetty I conjure up thoughts of a Stevie Clarke or Yellow Peril job lying alongside and marvel at the simple efficiency of what used to be.
Only two S&P cranes are being refurbished/overhauled to be re-tracked in 2019. Yes, the hopper was huge as indeed the conveyors. These have now been removed about two months ago. I watched as they were carefully dismantled ad taken away by barge. All gone within 3 days.
The jetty is quite long. Can you recall if there were ever two vessels on the berth at any one time?
Yes, I sailed with both Stevie Clark and Fred, Malling, Gosport and Sanguity but never lifted coal.
Once again, very many thanks for the info provided and hope to hear more about hauling coal to BPS.
