See description here NZ1864 : Remains of Lemington Staiths, Lemington Gut
The left side of the now silted up former bed of the River Tyne known as Lemington Gut, is strengthened by a massive masonry quay wall.

Another possible interpretation of these structures is that the higher remaining timbers in the near distance are actually the remains of a footbridge, shown on the 1:2,500 OS map of 1936, crossing Lemington Gut to the former island of Lemington Point. In this case, the remains of Lemington Staiths would be the fragmentary lower wooden structures in the foreground, best seen looking back up the former water course NZ1864 : Remains of Lemington Staiths

Both the footbridge and Lemington Staiths are marked as 'disused' on the 1952 map.
