This building, now known as the 'Old Torpedo Factory' was not present in EPW005170 taken ten years previously. RIBA maintains that this building is of 1900 vintage, which is not possible.
The smaller buildings nearer the camera (which appear still to exist in part) are of an older vintage and appear in the 1921 photograph. |
