1859

The sad remains of The Herculaneum Pottery (which finally closed in 1841) are in the foreground, to their right is Sefton Street, running into the distance. 'The Potteries' built for the potters are clearly visible running down the hill, foreground centre with 'The Grapes' in the centre of the terrace.

Caryl Street has yet to be finished, next comes Grafton Street, with the church of St Thomas, one of the earliest in this area and finished only in 1841.

The Lavrock Bank estate (from which the later incinerator inherited its name) is right of centre and close by is Chapel Place, hidden within this (in the painting at least) sits the original Herculaneum Chapel. The South End flour mill is on the edge of the screen. Below this, the housing in the near view, right includes Park Terrace and a house still standing in a 1920s photo. The small paler building must have been demolished as it later became the site of the Protestant Hall.

 from an 1859 painting by John Isaac, kindly sent by Ken Roberts. Philip Mayer points out that John Isaac painted it from a Balloon and the view is foreshortened.  He painted the buildings taller than they were, which also makes them appear closer to each other.
