It is noted on the photograph that the police officer looks like W Harvey. There are flags strung up along the entrance to the wharf. Rail haulage lines are visible in the foreground.
The photograph is possibly an image of people observing the departure of troops for the South African War.
Photographer unknown.
Date, thought to have been taken in 1900.
