cuttsie Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Around spring time in 1980 an artist used to exhibit his oil paintings in the Rivelin Hotel ,I bought a painting that was hung in the bar at the time [£12].the theme of the painting was the Boxing Day Football match between Wed and United. The painting shows a Wednesday fan sat at home reading the Green Un the headline of the paper reads Boxing Day Massacre. The fan is also supping a bottle of Stones . The signature at the bottom is not clear but reads something like,RE Houtith or similar name. Does anyone remember who this artist was or any other info of the time, the Landlord at that time was called George the Landlady was Wendy.

587td Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi I was a regular of the Rivelin Hotel around that time possibly 1982. Although I can't help with your query. I wonder if you can recall the surname of Wendy and George or indeed where they moved to. They were friends of my late wife Julia and I would love to get in touch with them again.

Is your enquiry of an urgent nature if so I will try to get in touch with customers who used the Rivelin at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
