Yes it could prove an interesting thread. I have put three maps of the Old Wharf from around 1880, 1903 and 1913.

In post 869 of the “Key Hill Cemetery” Thread it was mentioned about “Mount Misery” and the plight of the sand carriers...

The two thumbnails show the area around Newhall Street from the 1890 OS Map, the second being the area between the four streets, Newhall St, Great Charles Street, Lionel Street and Summer Row. In this area there are at least 5 wharfs, one being “India Wharf.”
The Bridge at Summer Row is called Friday Bridge, and father down there is Saturday Bridge.
Excellently drawn. This sort of work makes me very green with envy. As my old dad used to say, “you’d have trouble drawing breath.” But he was a “dratter”.A very nice study of the old Navigation Office doorway. The Office was situated near to Old Wharf and facing Paradise Street (see first map in post #4 posted by Pedrocut). Viv.
