Me and man gone wrong were down Kent and for some strange reason I took a wrong turn on the way to another location.he laughed and said what you doing.it was a dead end.so has we we were about to turn around he said have you seen that crane there.and I said yeah it's big ain't it.a quick shall we go look was said and we parked up and wandered down not expecting much,several hours later we were on our way.it was better than we expected.i can't find much history on it.i did see there was a report on here from it.there was three cranes.two mobile ones and a static one.it had been fairly trashed and a few buildings set on fire.but there was several workshops filled with machinery in fairly good condition too.we did wonder why a boat yard would have wood working shop and metal work shops but then I did see that they did repair work here.maybe a bit of building of small boats but not sure.a thoroughly enjoyable relaxed explore though.
First up there was a large wooden boat launch.there was a nice winch at the side to pull lover boats in and out of the water.it was smallish but looked very powerful.
This as a carpentry workshop at the far end.sadly been hit by fire damage.luckily the machines were still intact.
The first crane
Some sort off office block.it was well gutted
Another workshop.this just had a few machines.
This was a metal workshop.i think a bit more heavy duty work was done here.this was my favourite workshop.the colours and the light and rye machines.i don't know what the big table in the middle with holes in it.maybe for resting the metal on after being worked on.
Someone ate healthy here with all the apple stickers.
Some sort of random cart thing.
Another machine shop for metal work.this one I think was used for more finer works by the machines in there.
The last crane.this was a lovely large static crane for loading and unloading.
A pair of what looks like roller presses.
