Avonmouth

An aerial vertical photograph of Avonmouth docks. To the bottom of the photograph is the Bristol Channel, stretching up to the right of the photo. Three jetties protrude into the channel. Two tidal locks can be seen, one in the centre and one to the top right. Alongside the central entrance, a boat can be seen in a drydock for repairs. Another boat can be seen to the centre left, in the Oil Basin, as well as a smaller boat to the far-left. Four other boats of various sizes can be seen to the right of the port, with another four to the top left, in the Eastern Arm. Oil storage tanks, extensive rail network, and industrial storage spaces, and two barrage balloons are visible, one to the bottom-right of the photo, on a jetty and the other to the top far-left.
