@treeve: Have I missed something in the link that says this is not in Cornwall? Friends and artists Bernard Evans and his wife Audrey live in the very house where Stanhope Forbes used to live i.e. Trevatha, Faugan Lane, and the house has red brick like the one on the left, I think. I wonder if there might have been a duckpond at one time beside the house. Maybe - and probably - I am barking up the wrong tree!
It was just the brickwork and the distant scene that did not seem to be very Cornish to me. If you know differently then fine, that helps chillywilly no end. Can anyone get a photograph to show it? It was just that 'standup' painted all over the place. Railways and furriners was all the same to him. It would be good to get a story of place, and get one in the eye for all those art dealers. My 'ever so favourite' is The Drinking Place.
Thanks for that rrrrrrichie! It was the first time I realised that my house could now be viewed as they've updated everything down this end. The last time I looked, the skateboard park didn't exist according to them. My middle son was walking along the road in a village near the Dart up in Devon when the photographing van passed him with its swivelling camera which was being buffeted by trees in the narrow lanes in his vicinity.
Just found on p77 of Around Penzance [Francis Frith] Newlyn Village Scene 1903, the above photograph on your postcard, and it is described as being now Gwavas Road, site for Newlyn Methodist 1927. It adds that William Lovett lived in one of these cottages.
