Painting of Stove by Helen Scott
poster paint, folded brown paper, 12 " across
At the bottom , written in biro
STOVE, SANDAY, MAY 11th 1972 H.P.S.
found at Stove
The writing is from a recently uncovered notebook of Helen Scott's and if the date on the painting is accurate means that the she did the picture on the exact date of the fire. The view is from her garden in the field behind Stove. The building nearest the house is the stable block, next the large steading, engine shed and boiler house. The stables only suffered minor roof damage but the other out buildings in her painting were completely burnt out by the fire.
The tenant of No 3 holding was her husband John Scott.
