    Hi all

    Long time forum lurker here just joined up. Great stuff here and I always enjoy following the threads :)

    I found these old concrete barges a few days ago (I thought WW2) but since then people have been emailing me saying I am wrong and that do not date from that era. Much searching on the net has not helped me.

    Can someone here help me out?

    Sunken WW2 Barges - Lymm - June 08 - Urban Exploration Forums

    Anyways, great forum

    Welcome aboard, Sir. No help here on the barges, though.

    Welcome! About the barges I can only make a guess. I would think about the 1950s to save Iron that was needed in other piority sectors such as cars and houses.

    Hey, don't think that just because you finally joined, you can't still lurk. I'm an expert lurker, just ask my wife...or is that expert leerer, I can never keep those two words seperated?
