England - Westcliff - 60s family watching Gravesend Thames ships

A family stand at railings watching shipping on the River Thames at Gravesend during summer time in the early 1960s. Standing at some railings, the two women and the young boy are looking out towards the River Thames at the Kent town just a few miles outside London. Here is shipping that is taking cargo to the capital in an era when the river still a main artery for goods brought from across the world into London. The picture was recorded on a film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1962. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.
