From Speke to Garston Before a Thunderstorm - G. H. Warr


Another aerial view of the emerging estate with the Metal Box Factory now built on the right hand side of the picture.  If you carry on up to the roundabout (now traffic lights at the top of Western Avenue), turn left and follow the road to a small wooded area and there is The Slades - the vicarage of All Saints Church.



61 - This beautiful painting was given to me by Brian Reynolds and is called From Speke to Garston Before a Thunderstorm. It was painted in 1926 by G H Warr who was an Exhibitor at the Walker Art Gallery and the Royal Academy in London.  Brian believes the painting shows the view from Speke Boulevard by the Metal Box (before the road or the factory was built obviously!) looking towards Garston. If you look at Photo 19 above you can get an idea where Mr Warr was working from.  Many thanks to Brian for sharing this lovely, unique painting.
