The building, already roofless, is placed obliquely across the plate. The most conspicuous feature is the first of its great round arches, still intact and open towards the right. The ruins are shut off by a paling from the street, in which are a number of waggons, cabs, and foot passengers. The subject marked off by a ruled line, with a blank margin left on all four sides. Clouds are seen in the sky to the left of St. James's Hall. Before the small spire ; before the van on the left and the lines across the foreground in the middle and on the left side.
