Docks Heritage Weekend 2022

Last weekend saw the annual Docks Heritage event where we try to give a flavour of cargo handling and other activities for the public to see. Sadly we were sans actors this year but the volunteers put in a good shift in demonstrating the exhibits, including rides in Pyronaut, crane 31, and loading demos with crane 30 along with a few shunting actions using the capstan.
Thanks to Emily for these pics.

Portbury was also on the quayside for people to have a look in the cab. At the end of the day it was seen shunting the stock back into the yard.

  1. Nice to see these pictures, as it reminds you of when we had a proper Port of Bristol Authority. That was with an office no too far away at Queen Square.
