Its not Rothwell Ave.
If there is a member on Rothwell Ave.
They'd have to stand on the roof and then it would be the wrong angle. Put thy glasses on.

Glasses would be no good now .. going blind looking at that blooming painting.

East eh ? You know us women are no good at sorting out compass directions ... unfair advantage to our male members. Better at left a bit/right a bit/up a bit/down a bit.

The artist might have altered the scene a little to get a balanced composition

Margaret ... you are so right... had this discussion with bros. today. What some artists do is draw a sketch, then go away and paint it in the comfort of their own home and apply 'artistic licence'.

Perhaps Retlaw has been conned all these years ..

Re: Puzzle for kaytex
Retlaw, I wish you hadnt put two photos under the one heading! I wish to discuss your answer to your question about the back street. You said the answer was DUKE STREET BACK. I STILL cant see how this is a backstreet. Ok there are cobbles showing, but I have never seen a "back" where you can see doorways andn windows!

Retlaw, re the second "church" showing on the sketch of Christ Church. Bunkum! Never in a million years is that New Jerusalem. Its a bit of artist's jiggery pokery.

I agree, it's that one that was on Oak Street, wish I could find my books for names of places.
