Dear Peter,
Having a bit of time waiting for something, I throw this into the melting
pot and hope it might be of use,
What an interesting picture. The stack could be 'brick' of course, but the
house looks not. This being so, and the stone size being what it looks
like, and the colour showing, it could be a sandstone? Taking into
consideration artistic license, those 'hills' do look rather big and steep for S.Wales,
and do not fit Flint, Denb. either. Definitely not Mid Wales, doesn't look
like anywhere gnrl. N.Wales, and highly unlikely Shrops.. Curious location
for a pumping house considering the terrain (though it could be a
winder), and/but a strange place for a reduction plant as well... and what an
expensive position to get coal or wood to. In short, haven't a clue!!!
I don't know what others think, but the chance is it is overseas...
Mexico, Spain? - or possibly lot's of artistic license! The building is too
detailed to be imaginary though, so it must exist somewhere, and, assuming that
it does (whatever now remains), someone somewhere will surely recognise it
since it is so substantial and prominent.
Regards, Bernard
