Starboard broadside view of S.S. NAILSEA MOOR and tug, c.1936.

Evans & Reid had been in shipping prior to their takeover of Radcliffe's in 1947. In 1931 Barclay's Bank entrusted the firm with the management of a number of steamers owned by former Cardiff shipowners on whom the bank had foreclosed. One of these was the 4,107 gross ton Nailsea Moor, formerly owned by Williams & Mordey of Cardiff as their David Lloyd George. Built at Stockton-on-Tees in 1917, she is seen here at Cardiff, c. 1936.
