A view of James Cann's Whiting works from the Thames foreshore, where washed and crushed chalk was used to make whiting for painting houses. The adjacent building with the loading gantry belonged to the Lambeth Flour Mills, situated at the rear of the Upper Fore Street and Princes Street. This area was soon to be demolished and replaced by the Albert Embankment. This photograph was taken by William Strudwick (1834-1910) using the 'wet plate' method in a home-made portable studio.
