- Brief Description:
- Sutton Drain from Spyvee Street Bridge, looking west, drawn by Frederick Schultz Smith (1860-1925), about 1885. Two boys are fishing from the left bank of the drain in the foreground. The sloping banks of the drain are lined with mills and warehouses. The building on the left, behind the tree, was the premises of Edward Stewart Annison, coach builder. Sutton Drain was one of the large open agricultural drains which flowed through the town to join the River Hull. The flat land surrounding Hull required surface water drainage, but in the 19th century these drains little more than open sewers. Ink and wash on paper. signed bottom right corner.
