This is the works in centre of shot in photograph WPW040156. This photo(WPW018858) is the right way round. The office building shown in both photos is still extant and can be seen today on Google earth. The gatehouse is also extant. The area has changed considerably in recent years and the bulk of the works has gone.
The photo WPW040156 is reversed which makes this identification difficult.
