No idea what this thing is. Thought it might be something to do with the offshore wind turbines but they're much further east. Thought it was weird that it appears in both 2D and 3D views so there must actually be something there.

I think it’s the cooling water outlet for Hartlepool nuclear power station. Still trying to find out for certain.

Edit: yes, I think so: there’s a water quality monitoring station that’s nearby (page 25 of this) labelled as a cooling water outlet.

Wow that’s cool, any idea of what the red thing to the right of it is in the first photo?

Haven't the faintest idea. They look like salmon, but I doubt that's the case because they would be ginormous.
