My old man served his time there building the Ark Royal in the 50s he was a shipwright I’m second generation but I never worked at Lairds. The last liner being launched was the “Windsor Castle” which should never have been scrapped she could have been a floating hotel and conference centre on the river.
hey there, fascinating video, live near the yard. what a shadow of its former self cammel lairds now is. what is the piece music that matches the footage so well called?
My father and older brother worked there. I once was going to an interview for a job there turned away from the gate's. I just couldnt see any future there for Shipwrites?(my brother's trade).
that was great - this helps me appreciate my late Grandad's job as a ship builder on Cammell Lairds.
