I've looked at this picture many times and now give up trying to understand it. At the top right under the green "V", there is what appears to be a building with a huge block bridging across. What is this?

It is rougly where the police station is, I think?

For those not familiar, these are the woodside graving docks in the forground.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
