Originally created as a World War Two Heavy Anti-aircraft Battery mounting four 3.7-inch Mobile Guns in 1941 with GL Mk.II Radar, when it was manned by 385 Battery of the 121st Royal Artilley Regiment. It became Diver Strip Battery H2 in 1944 equipped with four 3.7-inch Mk.IIb Guns equipped with GLIIIC Predictor, GLII and S2MA Radars. It formed part of 40 Heavy Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade. All the gun sites in this area came under the control of the Anti-aircraft Operations Room at Mistley in Essex. This Heavy Anti-aircraft Battery was retained into the late 1940's as an ''Off-Site'' and part of the Nucleus Force. The Heavy Anti-aircraft Battery is positioned near to the mouth of the Orwell River, on a plateau to the north-west of the port of Felixstowe, and includes the structural remains of a Cold War Heavy Anti-aircraft Battery site comprising four Gun Emplacements with associated buildings, the former Generator and Gun Store building, Command Post and partly ruinous brick Radar Tower, and a Telephone Test Cubicle also survive, along with sections of the approach track.
The four Gun Emplacements are located on concrete spurs which extend from the corners of a roughly square concrete platform measuring 131ft east-west and 164ft north-south located at TM 2764 3615. The centre of the platform is covered with dumped material. Each circular Gun Emplacement is approximately 32ft in diameter and constructed of reinforced concrete. Although two of the four emplacements are heavily covered with vegetation, all appear to have survived well, with a central Gun Pit approximately 4ft 11in deep to accommodate the traversing mechanism of the gun and hydraulics of the automatic loading system. Attached to the rear of each Gun Pit is an Engine House which contained a diesel generator, hydraulic pumps and an air compressor to power the recoil system. None of the equipment, mechanisms or pipe work appears to have survived.
Approximately 157ft to the south-east of the emplacements, on the west side of the track, is the generator house and gun store, a single storey, flat-roofed, reinforced-concrete, L-shaped building with heavy steel-shuttered doors and windows. At the southern end of the building, the gun store has small square apertures near to roof level and steel-louvre ventilation openings. Opposite the generator house, approximately 65ft eastwards from the east side of the track, is the telephone test hut, a brick and reinforced concrete structure with a flat roof. Approximately 525ft further to the south of the generator house and gun store on the east side of the track lies the Command post, a flat-roofed, reinforced-concrete structure with a steel-shuttered door. To its north-west lie the remains of the brick radar tower and ramp.

I think this is platform, possibly once used for drilling is located approximately 3 km offshore near the entrance to Hamilton Harbour in Ontario on Lake Ontario.
If you zoom in, between the 2 legs of the platform in the center, at the water line, the CN Tower in Toronto Ontario is just barely visible.
An evening of live performance, documentary film, literary swaps, and a giant platform line dance — all set against the backdrop of our 1936 subway station home.

This October 2008 peek along platform two at Kidsgrove reveals a nice brick waiting room with the station footbridge further along. The platform is served by trains towards Congleton, Macclesfield and Manchester.
I have heard some people have the wish to be a little taller, this maybe going over the top. Lol.

Photographed July 14, 2006 while boating on Patoka Reservoir in Crawford County, Indiana. The DNR erected tower platform nest had a total of six Osprey.
Installed between 1264-67, the relics platform is a vaulted stone kiosk with two bays.
La Sainte-Chapelle (The Holy Chapel) was commissioned by Louis IX (1214-70), Saint Louis, to hold his extensive collection of relics. Construction on the chapel began 1239, and it was consecrated 1248. The chapel held the Crown of Thorns, fragments of the True Cross, as well as the Holy Lance.
The chapel is built in the Rayonnant Gothic architectural style (running between 1240 and 1350).
