Sad old lady

Came back to the docks today and strolled along past Collingwood, Nelson and Sandon docks, not much to see and no decent blips. Spotted this poor old lady close to the dock gates, quite sad to see her just dumped. The mountain in the background is at Canada Dock and it the biggest scrap metal mountain I have ever seen. The extra show the size against what was a quite large trailer. Canada Dock was opened in 1859. covers a huge 17 acres, has mouth over 100ft wide and have a massive quay length of over 1250yards.
I wonder where all this scrap metal ends up, quiet a lot of it back here in a different format I expect.
I may try to cover some more docks next week if I have the chance, quite interesting to see what's going on.
