East end of Whitbread's Brewery, Chiswell Street, Islington, London, c1792. Scene in the cobbled courtyard of Whitbread's brewery as workers load barrels of beer onto carts pulled by shire horses. A dog watches something intently in the bottom right corner. Whitbread's was the largest brewery in London at this time, and used a steam engine designed by James Watts.
