That's the lower end of Corporation Road curving away northwards in the background. On the right the clerestoried sheds are/were (?) the Orb Tube works and the five chimneys further off served the Orb Steel Works. From Google Earth it appears that today the Union Dock trades in sand or gavel and possibly imports coal too! Sic transit gloria... |
