Hi,
I am new to the Forum but as an engineer have a love of old buildings etc.
I am working on what used to be the old Vosper Thorneycroft shipyard in Woolston, Southampton.
A ship building yard since 1850, sadly Vospers moved to Portsmouth and we are clearing the site of all remains for the future housing development.
I have taken pictures of the last of the features, remaining Buildings and a 60t crane from the 1940's before they were removed.
I will attempt to put these pictures on shortly.
Sadly another example of Britains Herritage disappearing in the name of progress..
