This once would have been a very busy and industrial scene. On the far bank there would have been the iron and steel foundries of the Head Wrightson works whilst the near bank would have been full of ships moored at Stockton quay. Today the only boats plying the river are the dinghies of Castlegate Quay Watersports and new offices and apartments occupy Head Wrightson's site at Thornaby Carrs. In the foreground is the Cafe Indi-Go, an Indian restaurant. Well recommended.
