What are those? They look like the Tripod masts from Super-dreadnought battleships such as the Arizona, Nevada or California.
I want to say these are radar installations somewhere around Britain, but I can't place why.
Britain, yes, but a little lower tech than radar, just artillery originally — Redsand Fort, one of the Maunsell Forts of the Thames Estuary. Later there were some pirate radio shenanigans. And semi-related is the ever intriguing nation of Sealand.

It's not as romantic as Martians and barnacles though.

THEY are some sort of post-invasion apocalypse relics. Invasion being Operation Sea Lion and apocalyptic bring Wold War II.
