Great picture Peter.
Perhaps this is the other corner of the street or is it just another view.
Apparantly there are two explanations for the name.

1. A corruption of Commercial Corner.
2. A reflection of the fun the locals had watching the old sailing ships navigating the tight bend of the nearby river.
