They are around on the other side. Recently the oil tanks were 'rehabilitated'
to remove or at least seal in leftovers from its days as a fuel oil store for Garden

for the 2 large metal access covers in the middle of the field.
There is now an expensive looking apartment block between the tanks and the bay.
