The old wooden bridge is shown on the extreme left, with the spire of St Columb's Cathedral in the centre, and the cupola of Corporation Hall in the Diamond (rebuilt in 1826) on the skyline above the paddle-steamboat on the right. Moored at the Liverpool Steam Packet Company's quay, the boat seems to be crowded with passengers. Immediately below the Cathedral can be seen the four houses erected by Pitt Skipton Esq. which subsequently become the city's well-known Melville Hotel. The riverfront industrial buildings and warehouses which began to be built in the eighteenth century were removed in the 1960s and 1970s.
