More about this scene
Here we have a fine aerial view of the large No 9 dock and the area around it. At the head of the dock can be seen the large No 2 grain elevator; later, this was so much trouble to pull down, that it took nearly three months before it was cleared away. There had been a No 1 grain elevator on Trafford Wharf, but this had been hit by an incendiary bomb during the Second World War, and after months of burning and smouldering because it was full of grain, was finally pulled down. No 8 dock is away to the right, and the area where the sheds are is now the Quay House.
