The passage below is from The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work as follows : https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=VgFfus6VN5wC&pg=PT19&dq=%22remind+us+of+the+place+which+work+accords+each+of+us+within+the+human+hive%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22remind%20us%20of%20the%20place%20which%20work%20accords%20each%20of%20us%20within%20the%20human%20hive%22&f=false
They inspired this book, which the author hopes might function a little like one of those eighteenth century cityscapes which show us people at work from the quayside to the temple, the parliament to the counting house, panoramas like those of Canaletto in which, within a single giant frame, one can witness dockers unloading crates, merchants bargaining in the main square, bakers before their ovens, women sewing at their windows and councils of ministers assembled in a palace – inclusive scenes which serve to remind us of the place which work accords each of us within the human hive.
In this which-clause the subject is 'work', and the verb 'accords'.
Do you agree with me so far?
Since 'accords' means 'gives' its indirect object is 'each of us' and direct objects 'which', meaning 'the place'.
Do you agree with my train of thought?
Regards.
