I had difficulty working out the subject and camera grid reference. The modern map shows 'travelling Cranes' on Bulwark, and the position of the tower of St Nicholas's church suggests that the camera position was on North Pier, but if so the end of a pier on the right should not be visible. I was evidently using the zoom lens.
