We have recently been contacted by a Peter Boylan, who has in his possession ten watercolour paintings by a Thomas Willingale of Huddersfield. (Not the same Thomas who saved Epping Forest). These paintings date from the 1880's and 1890's. One of Thomas paintings shows a woman walking down a country lane in front of a large ramshackle cottage, the detail in the painting is extraordinary.

Can someone identify this picture?

On the back of one of the paintings was this picture, which we assume is either Thomas Willingale or his son Robert. Can anyone confirm who is in this picture? We would also like to know if Thomas painted any other pictures?

According to our records Thomas was born in Dewsbury in 1849. In 1872 he married Ann in Huddersfield and in 1873 their son Robert was born.

Thomas died in 1920, Ann in 1925 and Robert 1938.

If you can shed any light on our picture or know of any more of Thomas's paintings, please email us.
