Just one more from me for now... IF Hargreaves did not just buy the painting but in fact commissioned it, could the artist not have been somewhere on the estate of Grafton House. This was right in the middle of the area mentioned in my first post and there is a steep sided clough just west of the site of the now demolished house.
Grafton House as I understand it was the dwelling place of the Broad Oak owners, although I stand to be corrected on that.
