Low Walker, AP Appledore Shipyard (Urbex)

Next door to the Swan Hunters Shipyard the AP Appledore Shipyard has seen no action for some time now and has all but disappeared. Most of the sheds on the site have been pulled down of late due to youths setting them on fire and very little remains.

I believe the yard once formed part of the merger deal made by Vickers with Swan Hunter Shipbuilders in 1968 and became part of Swan Hunter and Tyne Shipbuilders Ltd.
