Derby Gate, London

The Derby Gate entrance to the Metropolitan Police Headquarters in Scotland Yard – just off Whitehall – photographed in 1964. The building was designed in 1896-98, and built between 1904-06. It is built in red brick with a Portland stone banding. There is a slate roof with lofty banded chimney stacks. There is a segmental arched bridge to the North Building.

From approximately the same position in July 2021. A lot more security in evidence.
