This view has changed so much over the last 6 years I didn't recognise it from the Streetview (see https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Ropemaker+St/@51.519136,-0.087347,3a,75y,165.31h,105.26t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sBCyr8t3JAv_SuZ-CJ03Mbw!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x48761cabe5517883:0xcdad2ecccc500599). A small office block has been demolished, leaving this gap in the buildings from which you can see Tower 42. Ryness, which can be seen in the bottom right hand corner, used to be a Jessops store. Looking south-southwest.
