Photographic Record of River Hull Bed and Banks July 2014
Figure 89 - Sunken timber trawler with silt and reed build-up
Figure 90 Sunken vessel, believed to be broads cruiser, approximately 8-10m long
245
Figure 91 'Modified' Sheffield size barge at South end of HBBC moorings
Figure 92 - Barges upstream of Grovehill Lift Bridge. Nearest vessel is just floating but was open to the elements and in need of pumping out at the time of survey.
246
Figure 93 - Beverley resident prepares for the worst
Figure 94 - Sunken vessel between Beverley and Hull Bridge. (Note: Hull Bridge Boating Club are now promoting the clearance of such vessels. On a re-visit in September 2014, four smaller boats had been removed from the channel and this example was being prepared for removal.)
247
Figure 96 - Sunken Sheffield size steel barge near Beverley Beck. This is one of several such barges which are reported to have sunk due to ingress of rain water over a long period. Pump-out and re-floating at lowest tide may be possible for some examples, however some are reported to be holed and will need to be cut up for removal.
Figure 95 - Reed and silt build-up on and around sunken vessel near Beverley Beck. This example forms a constriction to approximately half of the river channel.
248
Figure 98 - Reed and silt build-up on and around sunken vessel near Beverley Beck. This example forms a constriction to approximately half of the river channel.
Figure 97 - Reach between Stoneferry and Ennerdale Bridges has heavy silt build up and channel encroachment in reed beds
249
Figure 99 - Retaining walls in an area between Stoneferry Bridge and Railway Bridge, used for mooring of 500 ton tanker barges. Operators reported that reduced usage by commercial vessels and lack of river maintenance has led to silt build-up in the channel, with reduced tidal windows where operational movements are possible
Figure 100 - Point bar build-up to the left-bank upstream of Railway Bridge. Low tide channel width is restricted to less than 8m.
250
Figure 101 - see below
Figure 102 - Two areas of failed timber piling to the right bank just downstream of Railway Bridge. The slips encroach approximately 12m into the river channel - the larger items of debris being too heavy to wash away under tidal action
251
Figure 104 - Ad-hoc masonry and concrete retaining walls with failed timber structure, right-bank approximately 200m downstream from Railway Bridge. The timbers are collecting silt and debris which is causing collapse into the channel.
Figure 103 - Heavy point-bar silt build-up against retaining wall between Railway Bridge and Wilmington Swing Bridge.
252
Figure 106 - Collapsed timber structure - believed to be former landing stage - left-bank near Glass House Row. Debris, assumed to be from this failure is present in the river channel.
Figure 105 - Failed retaining structure, right-bank with potential risk of structural damage to adjacent factory (abandoned).
253
Figure 107 - Heavy point bar silt build-up to right-bank approximately 300m downstream of Sculcoates Bridge
Figure 108 - Heavy build-up of silt at former entrance to dry dock, left bank near Lime Street
254
Figure 109 – Walled embankment in poor condition
Figure 110 - Retaining wall failure, left bank approximately 150m upstream from Scott Street Bridge.
255
Figure 111 - Scott Street Bridge, now disused
Figure 112 - Heavy silting up to retaining walls and debris present in the river channel, left-bank adjacent to Lime Street Depots.
256
Figure 113 - Heavy silting to channel between North Bridge and Drypool Bridge. Barge operators report that it is no longer possible to turn a vessel in this area due to restricted depth.
Figure 114 - Former entrance to Drypool Basin and Victoria Dock.
257
Figure 116 - Silt build-up to right side of channel downstream of Drypool Bridge. The trawler Arctic Corsair is permanently moored as a museum piece but photographs from the 1970s show that silt build-up in this area is at least three to four metres.
Figure 115 - Downstream of Drypool Bridge to new Scale Lane footbridge.
