"A gritty icon of St Andrew's Dock. The Lord Line is a top-tier FPV bando: epic gaps, ghost-town vibes, and challenging indoor lines. Signal can be patchy,Humber views and raw 'Bullnose' history. 5/5 for atmosphere." The "Bando" Factor: It is widely considered a "classic" UK bando spot. The large windows and long corridors of the old trawler offices make for cinematic diving, but the building is decaying rapidly. Be wary of loose wires and unexpected holes in floors if you enter. Local Knowledge: The area is locally known as the "Bullnose" (referring to the curved end of the dock). It was once the heart of the world's largest deep-sea fishing fleet before the Cod Wars ended the industry. Safety: It is technically trespassing to enter the structure, and it is a known spot for anti-social behaviour. It is safest to visit early in the morning with a spotter.
Great place to explore be careful of wind on roofs and trip hazards
Lovely spot to have a little explore around, lots of buildings in the area that were fun to explore. It is important to be careful, though because the area can be dangerous
It's a shame it's been left to rot.....
