In the background, we catch a glimpse of Samuel Brokenshire's carriage factory, an integral part of Truro's bustling industrial landscape. The quay is adorned with carts and carriages parked neatly along its edge, suggesting a busy day at work for those possibly employed by Brokenshire. A group of onlookers can be seen observing the scene, their curiosity piqued by the activities unfolding before them. Samuel Brokenshire himself was not only a coach builder but also skilled in shoeing smithing.
