    Impressive building. And nice extensions, too - though I could imagine a very modern style would fit, too.

    I wonder why those triangular protuberances under the windows. Strange.

    Great old tower. Glad the extension builders didn't paint it to match!

    The Coastguard has always done important work saving lives. Interesting to see some of their history.

    Things were built then to show this solidity of the government.
