I would like to know how many are available for viewing today in greater London.

And I have only just discovered Anthony Eyton & his Spitalfields connections in Wilkes Street and with the ringers of Christchurch. His ‘Open Window, Spitalfields 1976 – 81 could just be the garret where my 4 x gt. grandfather, Samuel Beech, was a weaver’s apprentice!!

Bravo and thank you for posting these paintings. I like Old Houses in the East End by Grace Oscroft and Warner Street,Clerkenwell by Harold Steggles.

Absolutely love the rainy road and blowing sky in Grace Oscroft’s “St. Clements Hospital Bow”–

and the wonderful curvy street lamps in other paintings. (not the boring bits we have on the roads now)
