  I could be wrong, but I think your description may be inaccurate. I don't think this is a street with a stream running through it but the streamed itself. It's possible it could be Ch'ŏnggyech'ŏn (Cheonggyecheon).

  서대문 이화여고 후문 쪽- 왜정시대 연초 공장(왼쪽), 멀리 인왕산이 보입니다. 이곳의 영문 설명이 잘못되어 있습니다.

  정동과 무교동을 거쳐 청계천으로 흘러들던 정릉동천의 풍경으로 추정됩니다. Soulite Henry 님의 말씀과 함께 지도를 확인해보면 정확한 지점을 유추할 수 있을 듯 합니다.

  This, indeed, must be a river bed and not a road as a bridge stretches perpendicular over it in the distance. If this was a road that bridge would be a hindrance to anyone with a cart. On the left what that individual is sitting upon would be an excessively high kerb if this be a street. Possibly there has been little rainfall and therefore a restricted run-off from the distant hills.
