It shows the western end of Howrah Bridge with the city of Calcutta in the far distance, on the other side of the Hooghly river. Howrah Station is the big complex of buildings on the right. There were obvious practical difficulties in taking the railway across the river into the city itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>For those interested, Howrah St Thomas church, which used to contain a five change ringing bells cast by Warners is about half a mile away to the photographer’s right.
