If they are gas towers they do change height depending on how much gas is inside.  I think they cleverly use water at the bottom to stop the gas escaping (or something like that!).

They are gas holders and move up and down depending on usage.Are they near Junction 10?

Here is how they work  http://www.gasmuseum.co.uk/gasholders.htm

They are gas towers, and apparently they're lined with a thick 'rubber sack' which holds the gas and lifts the tower as it expands?...
