More about this scene

A view over the rooftops of Bristol. To the right of the cathedral can be seen something of the warehouses and wharves of the city docks. In the centre of the picture, to the left of the church spire, is one of the cone-shaped furnaces of a glassworks, somewhat akin to the bottlekilns of the Potteries.
