More about this scene
The Taw at high tide. The masts of sailing ships are visible beyond the bridge, and a fine collection of rowing boats can be seen around the boathouse. Left of the bridge is Shapland and Petter's Raleigh Cabinet Works, built in 1888 on the site of Westacott's old shipyard. Still in business today, the main output is wooden doors. The name 'Raleigh' refers to their previous premises in the town, which were burnt down.
