Please help me recognise this house in Sheffield

[stressconsul]

Don't think its in Bents Green and definitely not those cottages at Bowser Bottom (Wire Mill Dam). Has a look of Fulwood about it. Lovely pic.

It's a painting by the Sheffield artist Harry Epworth Allen and titled Lithlingow, Sheffield. It looks familiar, somewhere up Bents Green or the Mayfield Valley? He lived in Ecclesall and did many local and Derbyshire paintings, one of his best is in the Graves Gallery.

 

It would have been painted in the 1930's or 1940s.

Looks like just off Nottingham cliff road could be wrong.

i'm not familiar with the artist's work, did he always paint real life stuff? i like to create from my imagination when i'm feeling arty.

[Nagel]

Yes, always real life stuff and with a surrealist look. He's quite well known and a couple of his paintings were on Antiques Roadshow in the last couple of months. He lived and worked at 67 Banner Cross Road.

 

Here's more of his stuff on Google image search -

I think his work is wonderful.

I thought it looked familiar in the Mayfield area, but Google earth doesn't seem to find any close matches. Of course, it isn't necessarily still there, or if it is, in anything like the same condition. Those paving slabs are quite distinctive.

Possibly 196 Brincliffe Edge road? it does look similar on street view

The front wall (no longer with railings), tall gate posts and slight bend in the road are quite convincing. There are modern houses next to it now so it quite likely would have been wooded at the time of the painting.

could be anywhere, but it reminds me of the cottage in longley park, near the bottom of longley dip

They were not cottages that was a recreation department buildings up to about the early nineties when they were sold off and converted into houses.

If it is,a fair amount of artistic liscense has been used!
