Comments

The Cattle Depot on on the right, a bit in the dark. Using zoom shows the depot more clearly.

To me it looks as if the Rope Works, Kennedy Town (mainly their chimney) are visible just behind the Slaughter Houses.

Possibly the large building at Smithfield is Jebsen & Co. Godown (formerly the Feather Factory) [????-????]
