North Sea Gas platforms - not quite identical
A second set of legs has been moved ashore. Just in front of the right-hand legs can be seen a group of low-profile trailers, it is probable that these were used to move the legs and platforms.

North Sea Gas platform - looking south south-east down Park Road
The legs of the platform can be seen above the Metro rail bridge. The legs have apparently been moved onto dry land from the point on the river bank that they were brought to by barge.

What used to be......
This relatively barren expanse used to be the world famous Swan Hunter shipyard where ships such as Mauretania, Carpathia, Ark Royal and Illustrious were constructed. Now, instead of building world-class ships the site will be used to dismantle/decommission gas platforms from the North Sea.
After 140 years of shipbuilding the site will serve as a scrap-metal yard (recycling site).
