Dunston Staithes in black and white

Been down to one of our offices today and saw this on the opposite bank and had to photograph it.

The Dunston Staithes were first opened in 1893 as a structure for loading coal from the North Durham coalfield onto ships. They were finally closed in the 1980's and partly dismantled.

Caught this as the clouds were gathering and just before the grey cloud cover and rain. I also thought because of the age of the structure that would look better as a black and white photograph. Hope you agree.
