| This is the navigation light on the end of Lydney harbour, now powered by electric but would have been oil lamp 100 years ago. The docks was used for exporting the coal out of the forest and importing hard wood timber from Africa for use in the making of plywood |

| Chains that open the tidal gates |

| The old capstan, used to pull the boats in against the tide. The buildings on the other bank are 2 old nuclear reactors, now decommissioned and cased in concrete for 150 years. |
i like the sets you're posting! REALLY love that chain photo! wow!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Peter. Like your take on the area. So that's decommissioning. Send what you can to Cumbria and cover the rest in concrete. Is anyone governing this country?
ReplyDeleteSome special pictures but also once again very nice to see.
