Well I was alive at the time of that film, which makes me feel very old. Too young to be interested in port though.

And I remember Waterloo station broadly as shown.
The old entrance to the Underground.
The old platform gates.
The pre Solari  departure indicator.
Steam at Waterloo.
The cab road being used by cabs.

The full film is also currently available on YouTube.

I say 'currently' as the film is still under copyright, so the link above could be removed at any time.
