It was the site of the old Royal Mail depot
The gap to the white building is the road that ran around the ‘RM’ perimeter
We are directly opposite the small triangular car-park, over the road below the depot

EDIT; Thursday 13th @ 09:58
It seems that before being the Royal Mail depot, it was a railway goods yard!
