Upper Fore Street, Lambeth, later replaced by the Albert Embankment and showing various factory and manufacturing premises. On the far right is Alfred Hunt's bone merchant warehouse and to the left can be seen a purpose-built whiting storehouse, 'which when stored, looked like a dovecote or pigeon house with the birds roosting'.Photographed by William Strudwick (1834-1910), who recalled: 'I found a good number of subjects in old Lambeth....in this work I was assisted very much by a large dark tent or house on wheels (a home-made one). It had a boarded floor and carried all the working plant, and was large enough for me to stand upright in, with ample elbow room...this tent was drawn by a man, and on arriving at a given point, I could have a plate ready in ten minute'.
