scargill Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) 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. Could be the bottom of Brookhouse Hill, Fulwood, number 112, but then again it could be anywhere..

Chris_B_1983 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Looks a bit like the Morrisons at Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scargill Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think we may have a winner https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=196+Brincliffe+Edge+Road,+Sheffield&hl=en&ll=53.357032,-1.499119&spn=0.006288,0.021136&sll=52.8382,-2.327815&sspn=6.517967,21.643066&oq=196+brinc&hnear=196+Brincliffe+Edge+Rd,+Sheffield+S11+9BY,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=53.357069,-1.499229&panoid=4mUgs3ucWisIRV6uEoMSYA&cbp=12,0,,0,0 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. The windows are wrong and don't match, on the painting they have stone / brick headers, on the street view image the windows are right up to the gutter with no headers, in the painting the door is in a different place. could be artists licence to change it.

Strix Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Lithlingow sounds like a muddle of Linlithgow, which is in Scotland I can't look just now, but a good proportion of the properties on Abbey Lane are distinctly Scottish in style, and many of the neighbouring streets have Scottish (and probably even Glasweigan) names I'll have a proper look later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglersvista Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Looks a bit like the Morrisons at Hillsborough. When you read this back to yourself tomorrow, you will think it's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choogling Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Looks a bit like the Morrisons at Hillsborough. Artistic license is a wonderful thing i thought the painting was a bit like the one my granddaughter did for her nine year olds art class.Could be wrong.

BTW what is Scottish in style when it comes to properties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaf andy Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 it wouldnt have a clue , i wasnt born till 1967 lol, but i do know the house wasnt even built in the 40s it's definitely not your house in the painting, at least we've narrowed the search down a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
