As I said in the original post, George, "whatever floats your boat". But I wasn't just referring to the body of water you found it on. I like originality and this fits the bill. There will be some reason this "house" is floating on this pontoon, or whatever it is, and I'd love to know why that is.

Garry, I'm not too sure what it is all about but it's something to do with the "Folkestone Triennial". There's several of these scattered about the beach and harbour areas and quite a few small figurines housed high up under things like railroad bridges etc.

Oh! It's a piece of art. Not a house boat. Or a boat house. Thanks, George.

A controversial craft - subject of some concern by the 'authorities' at Bristol Harbour.

On the Stour, landing the drone back on her was the tricky bit!

And one from above
She'll be coming out of the water soon for maintenance though, hoping to get some epic drone shots on the open sea when we take her to Holland next spring.

I'm guessing coal or something like that. Purely a guess, though.

I also thought it might have been for heavy goods or even for transporting aeroplane parts from the Airbus factory in Broughton as it had this on its stern
Just a thought.
