Retlaw asks where the artist was standing. I favour somewhere up Bash. It could be Whinney Hill and Pendle in the distance. An early OS map might tell us which way the factory buildings ran - East-West or North-South. If my supposition is correct, the large buildings ran E-W, thus giving a South-facing aspect and better light for a longer time through the windows. I will enquire about the museum's stock.
