If you're local (Blackburn area), perhaps the reference library might have some information.<br /><br />I know very little about him myself. I've just seen his drawings in books etc over the years.<br /><br />Kind regards.<br /><br />Colin Blackburnladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326456506067671772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949215181122709833.post-32868734402092012582013-02-13T15:56:41.296-08:002013-02-13T15:56:41.296-08:00Good evening,my aunt Grace is Charles Haworth'...Good evening,my aunt Grace is Charles Haworth's great-grandaughter ( she is 85 years old ).

I have to agree with your theory that the windmill is out of proportion (As is part of the canal in the drawing) but in my opinion it doesn't really matter it's still a nice drawing and makes the mill the main subject in it.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778367518820505220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949215181122709833.post-70944704172851535512011-12-12T01:32:31.429-08:002011-12-12T01:32:31.429-08:00PS - The drawing is the exact same drawing as the ...PS - The drawing is the exact same drawing as the black & white one. The coloured versions were hand tinted in the 1940's or 1950's from what I can gather.<br /><br />I have just three of Chas Haworth's drawings in colour and they're now all on this blog (Livesey Old Hall and The Old Market Place being the other two).

The artist would have been in the vicinity of the Navigation Bridge. I've now added a Google Map aerial image and I reckon the windmill was situated somewhere between the canal and Dock Street (not sure if Dock St was there at the time of the windmill though) and along the stretch of the canal between the Navigation and Paradise bridges, Blackburnladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326456506067671772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949215181122709833.post-55232852971642040942011-12-11T13:49:39.675-08:002011-12-11T13:49:39.675-08:00It’s a nice painting Colin, I’ve only ever seen it...It’s a nice painting Colin, I’ve only ever seen it in Black and White before. And a nice illustrated piece as to the whereabouts of its location to go alongside it. I assume the Navigation Bridge would be the one in the distance in the painting.<br />Or are we looking in the opposite direction towards Eden St and the Paradise Bridge?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778367518820505220noreply@blogger.com
