Bit of an unusual one this, these are concrete barges of WW2 vintage built to help save on metal in the war.

They are quietly sinking and going back to nature in a small inlet of the Manchester Shipping Canal.

Forget security, access and rotten floors....here you have to deal with 6 ft high stingers, wasps nests, mad fishermen and farmers LOL

Big thanks to Lister from 28dl for helping me see these lovely things :thumb
