THAMES FORESHORE VIEW, LAMBETH

THAMES FORESHORE VIEW, LAMBETH

Of this view, Charles Woolley noted in 1915: 'Part of the general appearance of the River Foreshore in Lambeth Reach, before the Albert Embankment. A very promiscuous river frontage running towards Vauxhall'. Visible signage from left to right includes: R. Bain, mast, oar, skull and pump makers; Lambeth Rice Mills, Aylings, mast, oar and boat maker; James Stiff, stoneware potters; W Wrence, Coal merchants and refuse sorters; Crowley's Alton Ale Wharf; Robert Bains and Smith's Pottery. The gasometers of the London Gas Works are just visible in the background. Photographed using the 'wet plate' method by William Strudwick (1834-1910). He 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).'
