Horsleydown, Bermondsey, London, c1850. View of Horsleydown, seen from the shore of the River Thames. At right are warehouses; people work on boats, with some in the foreground who may be mud-larking - looking for anything washed up by the tide that they might use or sell. Ships can be seen in the distance.
