  • ... that Shotley Pier (pictured) in Suffolk, England, was used to moor German submarines after the First World War? Source: No longer have a copy to hand but it was stated in "Nooks and Corners". Private Eye. No. 1557. 1 October 2021. p. 23., you can see that the ITV news source states "Following the end of the the First World War, at least 300 German submarines were brought to Shotley and moored up the river." which places them in the vicinity.
