The street is busy with horse-drawn traffic. The Hindmarsh tram line, which was opened in October 1880 can be seen. The building on the extreme left is on the corner of Gilbert Place. The right side of Harrold's premises is 13 yards east of Peel Street.

Next door, to the west of Harrold's, is the "White Hart" Hotel,which remained unchanged for many years. The hotel closed in 1927. It was then converted to shops, with tenants such as Dryen's Tailors, Hatters and Mercers on the ground floor. It was known as White Hart Building and was demolished in 1973.
