The wind is trying to dislodge the covering over the scaffolding on Quality Save. The building was originally the Hippodrome It closed in the 1960s and the building was converted into a "Supermarket" though actually it was an "inside market" with various independent stalls on two storeys. That closed in the 1990s and was vacant for a few years before opening as Quality Save Image but only the ground floor is used for retailing. On the right someone appears to have abandoned an umbrella. At the bottom of the street is the bus station.
