That's fantastic! I've always loved his paintings.....I have a large book of his work which I got in the 80's when I was an art student at Newcastle Poly - it's a bit of a treasured possession as it goes.
Park Row at this time was a grand street full of banks and insurance companys. It still has some of that but is now more a home to bars and 'nightlife'. Becketts Bank (large building on right) is now the name of a Wetherspoons in a different building on the other side of the street. St. Anns RC cathedral is no longer there (moved to a site further back at the turn of the century) and the site is now the Radisson Blue popular with Nelsonians as accomodation for the album launches.
I lived in Leeds , 1987-91 near Roundhay Park . Great place - had to move for a new
job . Happy memories.
This one's dreamy . . .

The artist happens to be my Great Great Uncle :-)
