Second World War 1939-1945, ruins, abandoned / shut down, historic landmark
The remains of a Mulberry Harbour component, probably a Phoenix caisson, built for the D-Day Landings. The caisson developed a crack and was abandoned on a sandbank in Langstone Harbour, but as a hazard to shipping it was towed to its present location on the Sinah sands.
