Thanks all

Started watching 'Taboo' - this thread is perfectly representing gritty docks. Well, maybe more muck on the ground/bottom of the walls. Shit seems to be everywhere in Victorian times. 
It's a great series (although set earlier than what I'm doing) and there's another two in the pipeline apparently

Yes, there was shit everywhere

Interesting to note that a lot of road surfaces were made from end on, hexed shaped Australian wood but it was swapped out for the more commonly known granite sets because when they got wet from rain, horse piss and excrement they got incredibly slippery and there was a serious problem with horses breaking their legs

I won't be having that much shit everywhere but it will be visible
