1940s Concrete Barge

This barge, with its wide beam and using a small quantity of steel for strength, was used as a lighter in the docks of Hull during the Second World War. Bombing had destroyed the docks so lighter barges were used as temporary storage for the ship’s cargo. During the Second World War, with steel in short supply, concrete was used as an experiment for the building of these barges. Because of their immense size, being very heavy and broad they required deep water, wide-arched bridges and hopefully no low bridges as they moved their cargo. These were never going to be a commercial success. #urbexing #abandonedplaces #abandoned #abandonedbuilding #urbex #paranormal
