More about this scene
Marking the point on the Thames where its estuary becomes a river, Northfleet was originally noted for its shipbuilding in the days of the great East Indiamen, but this gave way to the manufacture of cement and paper in the mid 19th century. The tall chimneys behind this graceful stone house reflect this change. But these spectators, taking advantage of the seats provided, can still look out onto the Thames and the passing river traffic.
