To locate with Google Earth. The red circle = Site
The site, renowned for shipbuilding and above 39m. no longer exists as such but the sheds, the house of Mr. Heyman owner of the yard, offices have been preserved or developed. The small branch with the dock overlooking the Durn and the launch pad have been filled. But you can see the vestiges of this famous site. An example for the site in Thuin?
