1859
 'The Potteries' built for the Staffordshire potters are visible on the left of the screen running down the hill, with 'The Grapes' in the centre of the terrace not visible here, but to be seen in the adjacent shot below.


The church of St Thomas, one of the earliest in this area and finished only in 1841 is upper centre left.

The Lavrock Bank estate (from which the later incinerator inherited its name) is left of centre just to the left of Chapel Place and hidden within this (in the painting at least) sits the original Herculaneum Chapel. The South End flour mill is in the centre of the screen. To the right of the mill are two large buildings below which is a small cottage. The oldest name known is  'The White House' this was later to be called 'Grove Cottage'. It was destroyed around 1966. Below this, and left, the housing in the near view, includes Park Terrace of which the end house (at least) was still standing in a 1920s photo. The small paler building here must have been demolished as it later became the site of the Protestant Hall.

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