A Wally is British, particularly London, slang for a gherkin or pickled cucumber of the type found in fish and chip shops. R.D.

Marvellous picture! It makes me feel I’ve fallen in headlong and involved in both buildings.
Thank you Fiona. Yes you are right I noticed a strange flattening of the depth of field from the angle I took the shot from, almost as if the buildings had merged. Roger
Love this pic – old and new at it’s best – you’ll have to think about shards/sherds etc next. The husband of a friend of mine works at Swiss Re and he tells us that a pane of glass fell out of its casing from the top of aforementioned gherkin – luckily it was at night, otherwise huge law suits all round. Wouldn’t get that from a solid Victorian edifice…..
