Locked out of Lydney Pier

 

Lydney, Glos, UK. 9th Aug, 2023. Users of historic Lydney harbour are upset because English Heritage have fitted fences and blocked access to the two piers. The harbour is a popular spot in the Forest of Dean attracting many visitors each year, English Heritage have closed the piers because of safety fears. An online petition to change the decision is gaining support. Closing the piers comes after a café, artwork and toilets were built to increase tourism.

I grew up by the beach and in the US we often use the terms "dock" and "pier" or "jetty" interchangeably but not so in the rest of the English-speaking world. I learn so much keywording my photos. And then re-keywording as I learn more. Keeps this old brain young LOL.
