 Watercolour by Gertrude Ashworth,1920
|
|
The
junction of Eltham High Street
and Well Hall Road in 1920.
This delightful
watercolour was painted
by Gertrude Ashworth, a
distinguished artist and
local resident.
The girl
delivering milk in the
foreground is Muriel
Ridewood, the daughter
of Charles Ridewood, dairyman
of 116 Eltham High Street.
This
picture was painted
just before the road widening
and development schemes
of the 1920s and 1930s
which changed the High
Street from a picturesque
village street to a
modern suburban shopping
area.
