Timber merchants on River Road, with a wharf on Barking Creek, probably no longer used in these days of containers. The premises have on display a Finnish locomotive, suggesting they get at least some of their timber from Finland. The locomotive is a 0-6-0T built 1925 by Tampella of Tampere, to the Finnish gauge of 1524 mm (5'-0").
