More about this scene
Here we see the Gloucester and Sharpness steam packet office outside Warehouse Number 1 on the left. A pleasure steamer is moored in the foreground; it would take Sunday revellers out on afternoon voyages at the time of this photograph. A pleasure boat builder was located at Westgate Bridge at this time. Note the person working on the packed barge on the right - the distinctive hat could mean that he was a seaman from Asia working from the barge, or maybe he was a lighterman.
