Little ship Hillfranor

The little ship Hillfranor was used in the evacuation of Dunkirk. The then current owner Mark Edwards moored her up in The Port Solent Marina, so it was a great chance to pop along and have a chat and been shown around this fabulous little ship.

The Ore and More Rail-tour 23rd April 2022
Ex navy man in Ireland here, loving your vid, brings back so many memories, I intend to visit when, or even before I retire. BTW one of the famous reasons for being late in the navy was, 'I took a lend of her bicycle this morning but got caught in the rail tracks, I did 20 odd mile before I got round to our ship, hence I missed the both watches muster' hahaha
Great video ! I always wanted to know the history of the south jetty line across the viaduct to Portsmouth Harbour station.
@commanderstraker6732 thanks for your comments glad you enjoyed it.
A very informative and attractive presentation. But oops, at 19"52, Albert and Victoria were not "king and queen". The band at 23"10 is not a brass band but a "military band", the contemporary term used in 1920 for wind bands which included woodwind and French horns. I don't think there were any brass bands in existence in the Portsmouth area before 1939, when the Fire Service Band was formed.
I was a choir boy back in 1966.
This is absolutely wonderful
Brilliant informative video. Thank you
Ah, such a shame. You missed the one that my nan used to work in before WW2… the Southsea Electric Theatre, one time Embassy and ABC in Fawcett Road. Just look for the flats named Embassy Court.
So portsmouth has a metro rail!?!?
No it doesn't
Thank you for a great video of our event. Excellent footage and narration.
Thanks for the comments always good to attend the events.
No Iain Sinclair?
No, the church was not financed by 'the First Sea Lord'! As it shows on the screen, it was 'the First Lord of the Admiralty', quite a different post.
Strong family connections to Portsmouth Dockyard with Father (Naval Stores), then son (Engineer) including uncles, and cousins (Whale Island, and HMS Sultan). A great film and a lasting historical record of a bygone era in railways!
Brilliant film and very informative
Many thanks!
The only Portsmouth railway I recall was the miniature one on Southsea Common. We did leave there in 1952 though 😀
Lots of memories, especially those white crossing gates and I can just about remember the railway before it was removed after my family had moved away to the west country. Plus my father worked for the MOD and had an office in the dockyard.
Superb film, full of interest. A huge amount of work, thanks.
Many thanks!
Interesting and well-presented.
Well done, Peter and Alan. Very well presented.
Thankyou for producing this delightful educational video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating, thank you Peter and Dave Marden 👍 ♥ historic industrial/private railways The stunningly good UA-cam recommendation algorithm bought me here, it must have known I'd read Kevin Robertson's, The Railways of Gosport.
Glad you enjoyed it
the correct title is The Royal Navy. The term British Royal Navy isn't required Apart from that it was a great watch
Very enjoyable. My father and grandparents left Portsmouth for New Zealand in 1910. Nice to get an impression of the docks.
A truly fascinating video…many thanks! When I was based at HMS Nelson …working at the Navy News Editorial offices …I tried to discover what happened to the double armed signal that guarded the first level crossing. It was truly historic but disappeared when the tracks were lifted. Hopefully it has survived in a collection somewhere? During my time at NN there were several of the former Docks Railway staff still working in the dockyard and they had some interesting stories to share. Thanks again for the excellent video. Let’s hope the non-synched sound will sort itself out…but the non-synching of lips and sound doesn’t really detract from the otherwise excellent production. Rob in Bournemouth.
Thanks for you kind words its much appreciated. Regarding the non-synching you mention I've just taken a look at the youtube version, and I couldn't find anything wrong. If you can let me know at which point you saw the sync problems I can look again but at this stage I couldn't find anything. Thanks once again.
Hello Peter! Great to hear from you! I’ve watched it on several of my computers and the lip-synch is definetely out as I watched it. However, I have asked another friend to look to check…it could be my system playing up ….or a UA-cam problem. I’m sure you’ll get comments from other viewers if it happens elsewhere…but I’ll be embarrassed if it’s only me getting the problem! I thoroughly enjoyed the video and I’ve never seen so much detail about the railway jetty beforehand. As a keen railway enthusiast myself I learn something new every day thanks to the efforts of others such as yourself! Keep up the excellent work. Let’s hope you find the time to explore the railway towards Eastleigh and Southampton…if you do and produce videos…we’re in for a real treat! Best wishes, Rob in Bournemouth.
@@atlanticcoastexpress ok no worries if you can let me know where in the film the problems are it would help. thanks again.
hello again Peter! The lip-synching problem has resolved itself. I don’t think it was actually your video…instead I think it was due to my system. I was watching a narrow gauge railway video from Bulgarian and noticed that on the highest resolution there seemed to be a slight ‘‘twitchy-ness’ on the video and the sound was very slightly out of synch. When I selected standard resolution (always offered first by the system) it resolved itself. Then when I selected the highest possible resolution it was perfectly in synch! It’s quite odd because my iPad is brand new as my old one failed (old age and over use in my language studies!). So, I offer my apologies. Looking forward to see many more of your productions I wish you and the team best wishes. Rob.
Hi, yes computers have some funny moments glad it's not to serious and at least the cause is known. Once again thank you for your comments reference my film. Best wishes.
When viviting relatives in the area with my parents I did see the line from Portsmouth and Southsea station down to the docks often in the 1960's , but never in use. I think embankment showed up in a couple of frames of cine film I took in 1971 too. Talking about the King and Queen, I was told I had "the King and Queen" in a photo of a trolleybus I took on The Hrd. It turned out to be the pub behind it, now merged with "the Ship Anson" and has lost its name. Very interesting to see the rest of the system taht I didn't notice when we went to see HMS Victiry in the dockyard.
I joined up in 1968. And remember the dieing days of the railway. Nice documentary 😊
Loved it very much the rich history of the Portsmouth dock railway. and very well presented.
Many thanks!
I remember the dockyard railway in the early 1970s; the crossing gates on Edinburgh Road were a particularly nice feature. One could explore the derelict line - complete with track and signal - from Albert Road to Edinburgh Road until c.1987, when it was all cleared and urbanised.
Fascinating video, very well produced. Thank you.
Many thanks!
I was there in about 68, but have absolutely no recollection of the railway along the front of the yard and up to P+Southsea. I do have vague recollections of the internal lines being used, mostly with extremely tatty box vans being used as sheds.
My family moved back to Pompey in 1967 (after RAF service) but I do remember the line curving off high level station and across Edinburgh Road. The odd light engine or short train of wagons were to be seen traversing the line from time to time. The gradient from the station down to the dockyard was severe. We saw how extensive the dockyard system was when the public were admitted to some areas during the Navy Days event each summer.
Brilliant documentary, so many things I never knew about the dockyard lines.
Excellent vid, very well produced, full of fascinating detail, etc Thank you!!
Nice to see the planet loco which was down in RNAD Milford Haven with us. Had work on it
Many thanks!
Excellent documentary Peter! My Great Grandfather Harry George Knight was a locomotive driver on the dockyard railway from around 1873 until around 1920
Well-produced and valuable feature.
Lovely seeing the cinema in Cosham again. Went to see The Goonies, Ghost Busters, Return of the Jedi and Star Trek when I was young there. Fantastic memories of the place but such a shame to hear its closed down.
Thanks, it was an interesting video to make
What a brilliant piece of programming and what a time to be alive for the railways! I was too young to see all of this but i do remember the early 2000s with the slamdoor stock from when i was a todler. Love your style of videos, please keep this up! 😊
Thank you for your comments, much appreciated.
Whaaat?🤔
Great video! I saw her at Worthing.

Thanks you for your kind comments.
I remember speaking to an old man in Portsmouth around 1978. He was one of the bricklayers that built the Odeon in Southsea. 1 million bricks apparently.
wow...such an amazing footage friend...wonderful vdo...big like and greetings from India
Hi there Peter, been looking to find anything regarding Mark Edwards, I am his nephew, he passed away in 2007. Wondered if you had any more footage from this day on hilfranor? Many thanks in advance, Harry Edwards
Hi Harry, Yes I knew Mark very well we were so good friends and I was very sad when he passed, I did attend his funeral and have great memories with Mark. As for footage I will take a look at my old camera tapes. There may be the original footage I still have. if you have an email I can get back to you. mine is peteralan.6@gmail.com regards Peter
