Worcester, The Dog And Duck Ferry 1923
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Near the northern end of Pitchcroft, a ferry crossed the Severn to a watermen's inn and a small quay, originally built to serve villages to the west, such as Martley. Donkeys carried the goods up the steep slope from the wharf and the path up is still known as Ferry Bank. The Dog and Duck probably derived its name from a pursuit engaged in by watermen, in which dogs were set on ducks rendered flightless by wing clipping. Most of these buildings still stand, but are altered almost out of recognition.
