taken 6 years ago, 3 km from Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, England
Brent Delta platform
Brent Delta was one of the first platforms to be built in the very early days of Britain's oil and gas industry.
It was about 115 miles (185km) north-east of Shetland in a cluster of four platforms which make up the Brent field. Its sister, Brent Bravo, produced its first oil in 1976.
The 24,000 tonne Brent Delta platform was transported to Teeside in May 2017 to be decommissioned and scrapped.
