Collow Pill, Newnham on Severn, SS Freshspring
Collow Pill, Newnham on Severn, SS Freshspring
This former naval water carrier was on display outside Bristol Industrial Museum for many years but is currently languishing well upstream on the tidal Severn. Access is interesting.
When seen in 1992 she was quite tidy. I'm not sure what state she's in now.

2021 update - Now had some remedial work in dry dock (twice) and on display at Bideford in north Devon. Regular public open days to see the progress being made.
