Arguably the most evocative of the entire set, this image shows predominantly, the Dog and Duck public house, which was located at 86 High Street, see Last Orders Please. It should perhaps be pointed out that the stairway from the river mud to the public house was not the sole means of entry, there was another, fronting High Street!

To the left of that can be seen the pilings for the South Bridge, which site was cleared for this purpose between 1862 and 1865. Also it can be made out, the change of direction of the harbour, as it begins its turn westwards to become what was known as the South End.
