Where Is This?

[Lakesailor]

Very difficult.

 

[Rum_Pirate]

With the colour of the water and the mud, I'd saw on a river in the UK.

 

[Lakesailor]

warm

The Angel of the North after a bit of global warming and an encounter with hoodlums from Newcastle?

 

[sarabande]

hmmm. Disused training or turning wall, so prolly old harbour. Glutinous mud, low-lying land. Looking North-East.

Start with Morecombe Bay.

 

[ChrisE]

Arneside?

 

[NPMR]

Barrow?

 

[Lakesailor]

Looking North-East.

ermmm. looking South-East

(It doesn't have to be in Cumbria)

River Humber, below the bridge?

 

[Lakesailor]

Well. Right Estuary.
Within sight of the bridge, bit muddy, not much of a haven.

 

[Beadle]

I would say its Paull - looking towards Grimsby.

Presumably the bollard was once tied to a shrimper

 

[Lakesailor]

You're not going to get it.
Moving away now.

It's Hessle Haven, now a muddy creek, but used to be a shipbuilding Mecca(!)
Richard Dunston's Ltd closed down. One of the last employees entered the new-fangled Lottery and chose his numbers by wandering around the shipyard using numbers on the various bits of machinery. He won £22 million.

It's still used as a loading key now and then. The bollard in my picture is on the far bank, hidden by this bulk carrier.

where?

I've been checking this several times today, and I still cannot see the topless bird?

 

[Beadle]

They don't go topless on the Humber - too bloody cold.
