I am still awaiting a response from Helmshore Textile Museum to see if they have the painting by Linton.
Atarah, I thought every kid in the borough had at sometime been whimberry picking on Birdie Brow easily accessed via Mitton, it's the eastern end of Longridge Fell. In fact after looking at map this could be the rise in the middle distance in the painting. Of cousre the is artistic licence to consider too, this isn't a photograph!
