I think it was my father who took this picture, and others, from the balcony of my mother's room at QEH on the day that my sister Susan was born (see https://gwulo.com/atom/37679). I'd like to know what the distinctive black and white building is to the right of the photo.

On the left of this image are railway tracks and a junction intruding into the Cable and Wireless tower compound. Has anyone knowledge of what these tracks were for? Reclamation works appears to be going on in the distance. Is the track going under Chatham Road or is it a dead-end?
