s that Barrow on Furness Ron?

Swan Hunter yard at Wallsend (Newcy on Tyne).
Here it is in full Technicolour:

What a cracking choice of motors those Geordie shipwrights had.

Theres a capri in there - worth a mini now

Theres a capri in there - worth a mini now

I got a Mk1 Capri, 2 Anglias, a Wolseley (1800?), and maybe a Ford Corsair, at least one Mini, possibly two, and I think the end one on the right may be a Vauxhall Viva. The third one from the end on the right has me stumped, going to take a stab at a Hillman Hunter.
Picture is circa 1969/70 as a guess?

I think that ship was scrapped about 1982
As pondrew said Swans on the Tyne

As pondrew said, it was Swans on the Tyne at Wallsend.
It popped up on another search today and I wonder how we move huge volumes of crude around these days?

We certainly don’t have the shipbuilding skils to build ships like that anymore.
