In the foreground are buildings on Garrison Close. The underground structure on the right at the edge of the park may be part of the Royal Laboratory, built in 1805 to manufacture ammunition for the Navy and later used as barracks - or could it be connected with Maritime Headquarters? (though I think that was further east). Beyond the grey housing around Ker Street rise three 47-metre 16-storey tower blocks dating from 1964 - Tavy House, Tamar House and Lynher House, each with about 90 flats.
