About the location

Also known as Purton Hulks, this is the largest ship graveyard in mainland Britain with at least 65 vessels that were deliberately run aground in the 1950s-1970s. They were put there to prevent the Gloucester and Sharpness canal from breaching into the River Severn due to riverbank collapse, as they run very close together at this point.

The hulks are about 10km south along the canal from Frampton on Severn and just north of the small town of Berkeley in Gloucestershire. Today it is a popular place for hikes and dog walks

High quality print

All designs are original and created from scratch.

The posters are printed in the UK on a high quality digital press. They are printed on heavyweight matte paper and are UV light resistant. 

Unframed prints come clear wrapped and flat to avoid creasing & damage.

Framing

All posters can be framed to order, and are hand-framed in the UK. 

The frames have a 21mm wide edge (23mm deep) and are available in black or white smooth-finished hardwood. Acrylic perspex is used for the glaze, rather than glass as it’s less prone to breakages in shipping and looks just as good on your wall.

Framed orders take 3-5 working days until dispatch from our partner supplier.

Locally designed

All of the poster designs are created by Matt, who lives and works in Malmesbury and grew up in Cirencester. 

Beginning in 2019 with a few designs sold mostly at market stalls, Cotswold Poster Co has now sold over 18,000 posters and cards (both online and to local shops).

2% of all purchases support Glos and Wilts Wildlife Trusts to benefit the local environment.
