Title

The Steel Shed

Description

The Shed is the last remaining building from The Henry Robb�s Shipyard that closed in 1984 due to industrial decline, bringing 500 years of shipbuilding to an end. Constructed like a ship, complete with riveted seams, portholes and painted battleship grey it was built by the Robb apprentices honing their skills. The steel building was originally a bomb-proof store for the shipping blueprints during WW2 as well as a first aid station and paint store.
