Two of the abandoned concrete barges on the Thames near the Tilda depot in Rainham. They may or may not have been built as part of the D-Day Mulberry Harbour, although one source is of the view that they served as petrol barges.Whatever their role, these barges are slowly rotting away by the Thames
great shot! you do wonderful things with your photos Jams, this one looks like a drawing
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Nurse!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a pencil drawing esp the lower portion with reeds.
Another abs cracker, Jams.
Maybe they're old transports to Australia.
ReplyDeleteMyra, Calum, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHaha James they didn;t get far!
I grew up in Stranraer in Scotland there were stone barges left on the beach at Finards bay. We used to fish of them, I was told that they were towed out to sea and used as target practice for the bombers.
ReplyDeleteAh thatnks for that Bullet. These ones are jut mouldering. I am not sure what will happen to them, perhaps just to rot and decay
