            View is of the Crest of a hill going away at all angles.....A nightmare to paint.....

            There is no vanishing point to follow.....

                Appreciate that....but this is not about how good Flora Mitchell was or not....it was about bringing the attention of the houses in Nick Street to Archies attention....because he tells us he's fair desparate to see something of that end of Back Lane where he lived....I simply tried to help....and got a Shit- O- Gram for my troubles.....mind you I wish I could paint like Flora Mitchell did....eye teeth.

                    Accepted.... I am still trying to find your old house....because it is difficult to find and I love the pic challenges.........so anything I come by that's near it I will let you know.....

                    • Those corner houses in the painting are Nickolas St/High St nothing to do with Back st, I am so appreciative of all the effort that is going in to this post Its just that I have to keep coming back to where my tenement was, It was on the left of the hoardings and directley across from the Back Lane refuge,
