Looks to be a complicated little scene, of older buildings and warehouses as can be discerned from the plot frontages and the profiles of the buildings. At the extreme right is the three bayed frontage (only two showing) of King & Peach Coal Wharf, the extreme right (out of view) bay is 52 High Street. This 17 th century brick built warehouse, at least the northern wall of it, was photographed by the author in the 1990’s, it did not extend to the river front however as can be seen from the photo (later known as Johnston & Jeff Seed merchants). Next left, is the almost tower-like sack and matting warehouse, and beyond that G. Buckton & Son’s dry-salters. Wood Brothers grinding and crushing shed is the early Georgian façaded building with the parapet that abuts onto the property at number 59 High Street. Immediately beyond that is Browns Entry Staith.
