Yes, the Torbay was on that corner. Elephnat Lane comes up from St Marychurch Lane where the Ship pub is. It now incorporates the stretch of what was Rotherhithe Street to the left in the photo and goes back down to St Marychurch Street just beyond the former alignment of Mayflower Street.

Prince's Wharf, 1937, was a six-storey brick-built wharf next to Gordon's Wharf and linked to it by walkways. Both had been operated as granaries by Gillman and Spencer, which specialized in landing and bagging loose cereals and the manufacture of flaked maize and brewers' preservatives, but when the company was purchased by Pauls Malt Ltd in 1902, they also manufactured a product called Kositos, an animal feed.
