Interesting that the skyline to the left of the building is almost unchanged whereas that on the right is all changed! The city put in a drainage scheme behind the club and effectively rendered it useless as the flow coming down there now is too powerful for the crews to launch the boats!

NIAH dates the building to 1902.

Niall McAuley Spotted your note for the "works" on the bridge. Was it a swing bridge?
-
Niall McAuley said:
The narrow part of the bridge nearest the camera was a lifting section to allow sailing ships past. You can see some cogs in the mechanism at the bottom of the narrow section. This has since been replaced with a wider but uglier flat concrete span visible here:

Things in 1922 were unchanged since the the GeoHive OS 25" (which has an incorrect survery date of 1888 attached, but is actually after 1905.) The Bank is still there, the Woollen Mills burned down in the 1940s and a Radisson Blu is there now, the Methodist Church is still there but the steeple is gone, and the Post Office is gone too, replaced by a rather ugly Bank building.
