The building shown is now the Lynn Museum, and the view is from the direction of Baxters Plain, showing the rear of the Atheneum on the right, the conservatory and side of Paradise House, and the front of the Union Baptist Chapel, probably soon after it was built in 1859. Also in the picture are six figures showing good details of period dress, as well as a flock of sheep being driven to market, and street paving being laid.
