Synopsis
Excerpt from Then and Now
That is how congestion arises at ports which are less well equipped than Manchester - con gestion that means the depressing spectacle of trucks which are full when they should be simply filling or discharging, and vessels still in the dock when they should be out at sea with fresh cargoes. From one point of view Trafford Park and the Port of Manchester is just one long campaign against this family lethargy, one perpetual inoculation against the sleeping sickness that overtakes all classes of merchandise on the slightest provocation.
