In the background of this painting can be seen the Low Light (built in 1810), one of the two navigation aids at the mouth of the River Tyne, which is still there although no longer used for its original purpose. At the left foreground is the present location of the north landing for the Shields Ferry (the passenger service across the Tyne to South Shields).

Regarded as one of the major artists of the Cullercoats Artists' Colony, Stephen Brownlow trained at Newcastle School of Art under the celebrated painter William Bell Scott. He was a close friend of the artist Robert Jobling, often going on sketching trips with him. Brownlow is known to have lodged or had a studio in Cullercoats in 1866. The Newcastle artist Ralph Hedley was another friend and painted a nice portrait of him which is in the Shipley Art Gallery in Gateshead.
