Headset Play

A bike shop was involved? Even if it was them only checking and adjusting, that's a poor show

Gap between crown race and lower fork cup looks too big for me, and heaven forbid hope that is not a crack in the top headset part.

Sometimes what you see as the top race is little more than a plastic shield that fits over the metal race ,which is hidden

Crown race looks ok to me. It's the top lock nut part that doesn't look right. The top lock nut should be sitting pretty much flush with the top bearing race cup assuming that the steerer has that notch in it to take the lock washer that fits between the two.
The metal cups have a plastic cover moulded on top so what looks like a crack is just the joint in the plastic moulding. The joint is through the "o" in Shimano, hopefully which you can see in the photo attached.

Is that fork crown race upside down?

Bugger...

All a bit depressing if I'm to be honest...and disappointed. Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment...much appreciated.
