Leith Docks
"My
Father worked in Leith Docks during the war and retired in 1960.
He worked for Furness Withy and was in charge of the electric trucks
used to unload/load ships.
The
docks were a restricted area in the war, but he used to take me with
him for a treat on occasions to see his repair workshop. It
was quite an adventure for me."

Customs
"I also worked in the docks in
Customs & Excise for about five years. They were very busy in
those days but as far as I can see most commerce has disappeared
now"
