Having worked in the new London Docklands, and once having a couple of ex-stevedores working for me, I find it fascinating to see how thecold Docklands worked.

Interesting to see how they worked in the 1960s, no life jackets or Hi Viz gear, but all in shirt and tie..

Fascinating. I was dragged up on the banks of the Thames in Fulham. There was a timberyard at the end of our road, can't remember the name but they described themselves as warehousemen and lightermen. Us kids used to watch barges of timber being towed in. It burnt down around 1972. We suspected an insurance job as it was replaced with luxury flats (starting at £19,000).

Fascinating program. Interesting to see Ron Smedley was the producer he was a good friend of my father.
