More about this scene
This unusual viewpoint is from the tower of St Helen's parish church; we are looking south over the roofs of Brick Alley Almshouses and their panelled chimney stacks. These were rebuilt in 1718-20. At right angles to their right is the roof of Long Alley Almshouses. The river is immediately beyond the road in front of Brick Alley Almshouses, but until 1884 there were cottages, a pub, warehouses and wharves fronting the river. The isolated boathouse in the middle distance has gone, and the area is now a promenade and park, Margaret Brown Garden.
