However the arrangement of windows on the front left of the picture are what I remember; but the view from my bedroon window was of a long string of orange street lights. I used to watch those lights dreaming that my Dad who was a lorry driver would come and get me! I don't recall those front gates - but maybe there was a back entrance we had to use.
