Early in the 1870's. The line of buildings ends at Adelaide Crescent, so the photograph must have been taken before the building of the Avenues. The low building on the beach by the steps is a puzzle. Through the open doors can be seen the bow of a boat, which suggests a lifeboat house and yet at this period the lifeboat was housed in an Arch opposite the bottom of Middle Street.
[Later correction] Of course, the building was the Lifeboat House, here from 1867 until 1892.
