Again I've copied two to all of the print in.

What's the building to the left of the picture?

I didn't think they were that low down TBH - but they may well be?

The building in the top corner is the British Coke Research Association Head Office. Later became the British Carbonisation Research Association. This non profit making company provided a service to the coking industry (sadly nearly all gone) and I believe it was scaled down to a very small outfit by the early 1980's. I worked there 1972 - 1979. Opened by HRH Prince Philip late fifties I think.
