Hello again everyone!
Once again explored with @EmperorGeno
I'm a bit confused with this one - I've passed it a thousand times and always seen it sealed. I've also heard other people asking about it, I always assumed it hadn't been done. Not sure though? It's abit fucked inside.
Anyways, this place is a very old part of maritime history I suppose, it was constructed in 1901. It was constructed as there was a massive demand for areas to work on boats, and the existing sheds were quite a bit smaller.
Insurance documentation proves it was used for this purpose until at least 1949, and then in 1963, Northern Divers - an underwater maintenance/repair company took over the property until 2018. Their painted artwork on the front and doors is still fresh tbf.
The bank around the building is essentially is crumbling away. I'm no expert but I wouldn't bank on it being there forever unless preserved (doubt)
One more interesting thing - the crane on the river bank is actually older than the buoy shed - it is thought to date to 1865 and is one of the only surviving examples of such an early crane.
Anyways here's the pics - they're not great as unfortunately it had gotten dark.
Exterior from the road:
Pic stolen from Google to show the front, mentioned crane, and awesome crest
Looking in from the doors, pretty empty...
The first "office"? as you enter on the left:
And the right hand side:
Behind that blue door:
In the main room - not sure what this is - emergency shower is the only thing I've seen similar. With staircase upstairs
The smaller (seperateish) room to the left on the exterior pic (nice bricks):
And some very old looking signs and fan:
First room on the right, upstairs:
And the ladders to the roof, nah thanks... (geno did)
Second room upstairs, totally fucking trashed/hoarded lol can't even stand for a pic or light it up properly:
The last room, hard to get a pic for the same reason:
The coolest part - won't pretend to know what this is (spectogram?) but it's sweet:
Cheers guys, not the greatest but still a place I haven't seen done in Hull atleast in a while!
