Wreck

What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Rea 8 Concrete Barge as Wreck from the Modern period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Rea 8 Concrete Barge was a modern-era barge used for transporting materials, likely involved in post-war infrastructure projects. It was lost in 1947 after running aground near the River Rea in the West Midlands, England, with no reported loss of life; its wreck remains as a historical record of early 20th-century industrial transport methods.
