The tower rises from a group of low warehouses at a distance from the left side of the plate equal to about one-third of its total width. Behind the tower we see the back of the long row of houses which forms the east side of Waterloo Bridge Road, with the spire of St. John's Church at their further end. The near end of this row abuts on Waterloo Bridge, of which two arches are seen. Other buildings rise beyond the bridge, including a small spire and a lofty chimney. There are two empty rowing boats quite in the foreground on the left but most of the river is unoccupied ; numerous barges, however, are moored close under the further shore and three rowing boats stand a little way out. Windows added on the tower, which is partly shaded, but still very light ; the spire, afterwards moved away to the left, now appears just to the right of the Shot Tower, and there are large additions to the buildings. The first arch of the bridge is more deeply shaded, and the second slightly indicated; but the sail still remains in front of it. The buildings which rise immediately over the bridge m the published states are not yet begun. The burr on the boats reduced.
