The twin towers of Whitehaven, taken from Whitey Rock, all the features on the seaward side of the railway in this image have been destroyed in stormy weather since approx 2015, although the slag heap next to the pillars was gone before then.
The features in the cliff above the loco are, I think, for WW2 searchlight / gun spotters positions - they would be for the guns at Bransty, on the hill above, for protecting the Harbour entrance.

Whitey Rock, the "twin towers and the route of the railway are below the cliffs, with Bransty, now part of Whitehaven, some more of which is visible to the right. The large shed is probably on the site of one of Whitehaven's former coal mines.

Whitehaven's twin towers. Probably something to do with industry, most likely mining, as the site of William Pit is close by. Sea action is damaging them, the left one in particular has suffered, especially during the winter 2015/16.
ETA - pretty sure that these two towers collapsed in 2020. I will ask around to see if I can find some information to fix on the actual date.
