It illustrates a rich and colourful scenery of how life would have been during the industrial days. Nevertheless, while you are contemplating, search around you to find the clue that is missing.

The Mailbox (Pass By)

Something tells you received an important mail, but it is not on Gmail or Yahoo, but in The Mailbox - a high-class shopping and office development in the heart of Birmingham. This site was the location of the Royal Mail's main sorting office building for Birmingham, hence its current name.
