Strangely, that looks like a very tall stork to the left of the Town Hall Lady P. In front of the paddle steamer is a thick plank of wood which seems to be marking the edge of the water. And in front of that are perhaps sacks filled with something. Unusual details in the image. Viv.
 
I thought it was a tall stork but couldn't think why. Also spotted word "recipe " to left of boat. Some strange objects.
 
So it was a stork after all! Thanks to everyone. I suppose the name of the hotel put the idea of the stork in M's mind. Very interesting article Viv.
