The Lemon Bridge takes center stage, showcasing its architectural beauty against the backdrop of Lemon Quay at low tide. A picturesque view that captures a moment frozen in history.

Back Quay can be spotted on the right side of the picture, adding depth and character to this bustling city scene. Transportation enthusiasts will delight in spotting two early motor cars parked outside the Market Inn and City Hall.
