New life for historic buoys

Lancashire based painting and decorating contractor T Harrison Limited has recently completed work on the refurbishment of two historic ‘bell-boat’ buoys that once marked the safe approach to Preston Docks.

Today the Nelson buoys mark the original course of the river Ribble, which was diverted in the 19th Century to enable the construction of the docks.
