They look to me like they have had their leaders taken out, and then one side branch has been left to take over and been bent with ropes and weights to get the bend. Possibly for a boats rib or something.

I've seen oaks pollarded and manipulated like this for particular Ship building parts.

Looking like Scots pines, from what I can see, have you seen the pines alongside the road nr Thetford? V bent and twisted.

 

Dont think i have noticed the Pinus up near Thetford Andy, will have a look. Where in Thetford we talking?

 

Intresting that the trees were made for ships by using weights. Wow!
