it's Soldiers Way. tall building on the right is Commercial city. Behind the building that's behind the left traffic lights you'll find "The Workshop" shopping center. Directly right (rounded corrugated roofs)is a bus depo/market.
The corrugated roof was part of the railway station - it's the sheds that housed all the platforms. The old station morphed into the Workshop circa the late 70s (sadly). Such a loss not to have a railway station right within the heart of a major city. The face of Durban has forever been changed - unlike Cape Town which remains a thriving and very workable metropolis.
