Old Nissen hut close to the river One of several huts and other brick buildings on what was once a military site close to the river. During WW2 this was a site where bridges were constructed along with training for various types of amphibious warfare. The site wasn't abandoned until much later - possibly the 1980's as it was still used by the Royal Engineers, based at Clotherholme barracks.
