This photograph must date from before 1872 because it affords a view of the Chain Pier Esplanade. There is no sign of the Aquarium, which was built on this site in 1871. Note how narrow Marine Parade was at this period, as it was not until the Aquarium was being built that opportunity was taken of widening it at the western end by a curve carried over arches.
The two houses, 33 and 34, Old Steine, were then occupied as lodging houses, with a Wine Office on the ground floor of 34.
The cobbled stone crossing is on exactly the site of the present (1956) Zebra Crossing.
