The drawdock and causeway are at the north bank landing for the foot ferry whose south bank landing was at or close to the camera position. Although the ferry is shown on maps up to the 1930s, The Victoria County History misleadingly remarks it was still used up to the 1890s, citing a map of that date. Why didn't the historian, publishing in 1982, look at later maps? When was the true date the ferry ceased? There is still a public footpath down the causeway. The church is St. Nicholas, Chiswick.
