Decontamination tank enclosure in Portsmouth Dockyard, Hampshire
A general view of a temporary decontamination enclosure in Portsmouth Dockyard. The area is enclosed by a barbed wire and post fence and a large Danger sign denotes this as a prohibited area. A large steel tubular scaffolding structure is holding a pair of pulley hoist rails to which a wire mesh drum is attached. The drum is next to a large tank. Lines of oilskins are hanging in the enclosure. There are two lidded bins on the right and another two are on the left beyond a hand winch.
