Two very nice hydraulic accumulators - now scrapped. The building behind contained the water hydraulic power pumps. We saw these through a window and I believe the plate on the control panel was that of Fullerton, Hodgart & Barclay. The building still stands and is seen in somebody else's photograph. This was a day trip with a gap and my suggestion in the car on the way up that we do Goole was not warmly received. However, we were not disappointed and the docks were well worth a visit.
