Image description

Photographer, John Laing and Son (Holdings) Ltd; Builder, John Laing and Son (Holdings) Ltd; A group portrait of three gangers, S. Jones, T. Cummersky and M. Ryan, employed on the Portishead Dock project A cropped version of this image was published in the 'People' section of the May 1959 edition of Laing's monthly newsletter, Team Spirit. In 1958, remedial work began on the lock entrance to Portishead Dock for the Port of Bristol Authority. The lock entrance had been damaged by scour and wave action and needed to be removed and renewed, and the existing walls underpinned. At the same time, work was underway on the final third of Portishead 'B' Power Station.
