This watercolour and pencil on paper depicts a bustling coastal harbour scene, a topographical view of North Shields. The composition features figures standing upon a weathered wooden pier in the foreground, adjacent to moored sailing vessels, with a row of townhouses and a prominent watchtower or lighthouse, potentially the High Light, rising in the misty background. Signed Liddell in the lower right corner. The piece is housed in a dark-stained moulded wooden frame under a mount. The verso bears a printed label for F. L. Eames, Mirror Specialist — Picture Framer, with addresses at 288 Whitley Road, Whitley Bay and 21 Camden Street, North Shields.
