Hi thanks for the post of the painting.
I have since found another "version" of basically the same painting in a book called aspects of accrington.
It appears to be the same one but there are slight differences..eg.it is a much "clearer" view showing much better detail. Also this version shows seven sheep in the field, the book version shows six. Also in the book version there is a building situated on top of the hill on the very top right hand edge of the picture but not in this version. Could this be a copy of the book painting which I would assume is the original, I wonder?

Thanks for your efforts..

Phil
