2023 - Pier No. 3 - Coal Tip No. 4 - The steel or wrought-iron pivot or anchor point installed within the masonry of the pier at each side. The vertical bar is forged hexagonal in section and the entire assembly is firmly captivated within the masonry pier. I noted these same features at Pier No. 4, Coal Tip No. 5. At first I thought it could be the pivot mounting for a derrick or similar. Further investigation followed at home as I recalled that I had extensive photographic evidence of the reconstruction of this particular coal tip! [001]
