I’m really intrigued regarding the really large modern building that is visible from the Victoria Square car park at Chiswell I have googled but none the wiser, we thought it may be the Hospital but not sure

TIA

I know Portland well, but not sure which building you mean.
A photo would help.

@Bricksandmore sorry I have no photo, it’s a large really tall building and has sloping ‘turrets’ not sure if that is the right word, it looks like those massive hotels you see in places like Cancun. I think there are blue edges on the turrets. Will need to do a street view maybe.

I think you’re talking about Atlantic house. It’s old navel accommodation. There are two buildings. One was turned flats, the other is derelict.

No problem, hope you enjoyed visiting Portland 😊

@Bricksandmore I love it there, I love Chesil, and Cogden, and Abbotsbury, it’s otherworldly ❤️ and one of the only places in the County we can avoid the crowds in the summer (I am in Poole so you probably get what I mean)
