In the foreground of this section there are buildings associated with the foreshore amusement park. On the Esplanade is a mix of motor and horse-drawn traffic (including the same Woodroofe's delivery van that appears in section B, pulled up opposite the Refreshment Rooms, indicating that the photographer must have started at Section E and worked to the left). A tram has reached the end of the line on the Semaphore Road and the Time Ball tower is seen in the centre.
