Queens Road. The electric tramway was laid along this road but was never used by fare paying passengers. The Masts carrying the tramway's overhead wires can be seen running along both sides of the road.

Coal hoist for loading export coal into the holds of ships. Each hoist had two railway lines, one at ground level, the other some feet in the air at the end of an embankment. Wagons were delivered to the bottom of the hoists by gravity, lifted to the necessary height by the hoist, tipped to discharge the coal into the ship's hold then passed to the hoist's higher level line, where they rolled away to the marshalling area, also by gravity.

Queens road snaking through the photograph. The terraces shown are still standing, but with only a couple of exceptions (Those to the extreme left of this picture), they are now all shipping offices / take aways etc. There is even a massage parlour in there now too! The surrounding fields are all now of induistrial use, with factories, offices, and the council landfill site now to the right of this picture.
