It would have been very difficult to see any ships arriving from Hanover Street, its a heck of a walk to the River in any direction.

The Customs House would have been an obstruction  as would all the warehouses and ships chandlers that were down there as well.

I remember seeing Blacklers and Lewis's still on fire after being bombed.  and  remember both stores after the war when they were re-built,   Messrs  Blackler, Lewis and George Henry Lee would be spinning in their graves to see what has become of the stores.

Of course now no C & A (coats and ats) or Woolies, or Coopers (I loved going in Coopers) and of course Hendersons (I remember that tragedy when people were killed in a fire in that store.

I'm going back to 1930's 1940's 1950's  when there was rules that the youth were made to obey and not allowed to run rampant in public places.

They were in the North of England known as "Park-keepers" or "Parkies" and they used to control the youth element who frequented the Parks.

When they got rid of them that is when the Parks became ruined by vandals etc., and when older people stopped going there.
