The slope of the dry dock means that access is relatively easy here but it's very muddy.

That does mean matches of erosion, however, within one of which I saw something of a bottle protruding. I dug it out with my trowel, and discovered a fantastic Express Dairies bottle, which I have documented in my finds.

This is very much an urban spot, and it testifies to both its former industrial heyday and more modern local activities.

My first coin find! A somewhat tired 1982 twenty pence piece.
