Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 line 9: 3939 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 30: 1111 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 11: 0037 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 10: 0018, , site photographs (1,2). These four surveys show two barges just to the north of a structure (outfall or similar) in the south west of Otterham Creek. This one appears as a dark outline of a double-ended barge lying roughly east -west. It becomes more distinct on the 1967 survey but seems to have deteriorated through the following two, such that the eastern end is barely visible in 1990.
