View of industrial Manchester seen from Belle Vue. There are smoking chimneys visible in the distance marking the industrial centre of the city. Carriages and horse-drawn carts crowded with people are travelling along a wide road both towards and away from Belle Vue. There is a green area in the middle ground of the picture separating the road from the city, containing a few trees. The sky is extensive and is fairly white and clouded towards possibly representing pollution. Above this section the sky is a strong blue colour.
