Is that the High Street you speak of between the railings and the front of the house? Or is the High Street the photographers side of the railings?

The building looks like it's seen better days. Is it still standing?

That's the place KeithG - Called The Custom House

Well worth a visit to the renovated Harbour Station and Arm.  Good to see it rescued.  I thought it was going to be completely demolished at one point.


Very popular on sunny days

The clues:

Sadnesses -
1. The troops going to the trenches in WW1 from the station and harbour arm.
2. Refugees arriving there with nothing but pieces of carpet to keep them warm.  they were called The Rug People and there is a statue/memorial to them between the platforms.
3. The loss of steam trains heading into the station.

Over to you

CAT - The building is still in use today although not for the original purpose.  It's part of a much larger structure, much of which still remains and has been renovated.


KeithG - At least three types of sadness. 


Many who passed here were on a one way journey.
Others had been displaced.
A loss of something nostalgic.


A box of levers is nearby.


That should do it :)

Is this a fragment of a building no longer there? It looks as if it has been removed to the left of the pic and smoke is rising from behind?

Not a Chapel or Mausoleum CAT


This place has an enormous amount of history.  Millions passed by here.
