"These two metallic structures are made to rotate so that the shape of the composition is perpetually changing" http://exploringeastlondon.co.uk/eel/Millwall/Millwall.htm#Rotating . I fear I didn't pause to see what was rotating. Hutching's Wharf, established on the site of the Millwall Foundry in the mid C19, was named after a firm of wirerope manufacturers, who were succeeded by a succession of metal-related enterprises. This and later history is detailed at http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46514&strquery=Hutching%20Wharf#s7 .
