Walton Container Terminal, Felixstowe
Scenic model of the Walton Container Terminal, Suffolk, showing the stages of operation in the container port.
Lorries arrive in the foreground and are checked in. Behind them is the container park, where rubber-tyred gantries unload the containers. Trailers take them to the dockside, where they are loaded onto ships by giant cranes.
Walton Terminal was merged into the rapidly growing port of Felixstowe in 1991.
