The wreck is the remains of the tug boat "Waterloo", a 'Tom Pudding' tug. She was built in 1891 by the Shipbuilder Thomas Scott in Goole, Yorkshire, and was originally called No. 6.
Tom Pudding was the name given to the tub boats on the Aire and Calder Navigation, introduced in 1863 and used until 1985, which were a very efficient means of transferring and transporting coal from the open cast collieries of the South Yorkshire coalfield near Stanley Ferry to the port of Goole, competing with rail. 'Tom Puddings' ('Tom' meaning something large and 'Pudding' because they compartments looked like intestines or a string of sausages or black pudding) consisted of long trains of compartments which could hold around 40 tons of coal each. The compartments were lifted into awaiting ships at Goole via hydraulically operated hoists.
The double line of wooden posts is the remains of an old jetty associated with the cement works on Horrid Hill. This was a railway jetty which was used to load barges from side tipping railway trucks.
