Does anyone know what is being represented in the circled area? They seem to be some kind of structure.

I think this has been mentioned somewhere before. Samuel Mayer was a dyer at 84 Park St, and these are representations of the frames used to dry the cloth after finishing or dying
Thanks Mikejee I was thinking tenters or drying fish or even growing hops. Maybe they were also dyeing yarns. Tinpot
