There are information boards all around the area, which was once a thriving dock, before being filled in to accomodate houses & amenities. The board at this location tells of the Earle's Shipyard which was in this area.
Please be careful, as muggles frequent the parking area, and the area can become busy with children & dog walkers.
You will need to bring a pen/pencil, as the container is tooo small to hold one. Sorry, there is no room for swaps.
Please dont pull the cache off - unscrew it!.
Update at 10th November 2016 - The jetty has now been pretty much completed, although there is now a 5 metre 'Berlin style' wall along the edge of it, which was most unexpected. I keep looking over there, to see if I can spot any prisoners escaping, but they are doing a grand job of keeping them in ;-)
You might notice an unusual structure in front of the wall, which is a bird platform, which had to be built, as the birds had to be evicted from the old timber dock sheds. It might have been nice to re-house them before demolishing their old home, but hey-ho!
Update at 8th April 2017 - The wind turbine blade factory is now fully operational. If you are lucky enough to be here when one of the jack-up boats is in port, it is a great sight. The boats jack themselves up out of the water, load up with 4 complete turbines (tower + 3xblades + head fitting), then sail off down the river to install them, currently into 2 locations in the North Sea. Other contracts are expected to follow.
Update on 8th Aptil 2020: the corona virus has meant that the cache is temporarily disabled. Will re-enable it when the UK lockdown rules are relaxed sufficiently to safely accommodate geocaching once again.
