At the risk of earning a reputation as a nit-picker I'm afraid rotherhamweb have got it wrong about that drawing. It is in fact a drawing by Edward Blore of about 1819 made from the viewpoint of Norfolk Bridge. The top picture is the original with most of the sky chopped off and those below interesting enlargements of sections of the main picture.

Makes me wonder about the accuracy of the date they attribute to the directory listing below the graphics ;-)

That would be from here so should be OK?
