A postcard from Angela in England.
I am guessing, but I think this picture looks north-east towards Petrie Bight from Customs House. It's probably dated between 1900 to 1910. Unfortunately there's no stamp on the back of the postcard, and no postmark. The writer didn't date the card, so we can only guess!
At the turn of the century, Petrie Bight, downstream from the city centre was occupied by wharves.
The houses in the top right of the picture are probably on Bowen Terrace, New Farm.
For comparison, see another picture of this area around the same time.
