Remains of the 2ft 6" gauge track for what was a tramway (probably horse-drawn) on the front at Swanage, running between a stone store and the old pier. In several places the restoration / updating of the route into a public walkway has used dark stone to represent the iron rails. But not here, the running and check rails at this crossover are iron. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swanage_Pier_Tramway

The piles are all that remains of the old pier (used by the stone trade from about 1860) The Steamer Pier dates from 1895 and is still in use today for various purposes, including visits by PS Waverley and also a well known diving school (reputedly the oldest in the UK).
