Urban Derelict Garages

Derelict Garages (Exterior)

Abandoned garage complex along a narrow lane under railway arches, featuring both crumbling structures and the open exterior space where the Doctor and Jamie observe Hall. The garages loom with decayed facades, rusty doors ajar amid weeds and cracked pavement, while the exterior space serves as a vantage point for surveillance. Shadows stretch toward the warehouse at the lane’s end, amplifying the eerie silence and lurking danger as the TARDIS theft investigation unfolds. The Doctor spots clues to deception (ill-fitting overalls, mismatched clipboard) and Kennedy observes from afar, tightening the web of suspicion.
