Why do both of the piers bend to face the sea? It almost looks as if they

Presumably to be parallel to the flow of the river?

Fair enough, although it doesn't explain why they are opposite each
other and facing the same way, when placing the north pier by the
abandoned railway station and bending up-river would give shorter routes
to the south pier.
