EVITA: River Tees - 07.07.1966
This scan shows I can "fool" my new scanner into copying from 6x6 negs! Poor quality Box Brownie effort!! A previous scan from an actual print is showing at: http://www.teesships2.freeuk.com/06031340yearse3.htm
EVITA - Cardiff - 04.08.1970
Yes,

EVINDALE - Potash Terminal, Tees Dock - 20.08.1975

EVINDALE - Birkenhead - 07.03.1977
DAPO ANTIKLIA - Potash Terminal, Tees Dock - 11.02.1981

DAPO ANTIKLIA - 15.02.1981
It is quite good fun digging out and working with these old negatives especially as since about 1973 most of them have never been printed out before!
