Lost painting by local artist

Does anyone know where it is?

By David Middleton

At the recent Living History Exhibition held in the Old School (23-25 August 2008) Mrs Joyce Simpkin (nee Skinner) kindly brought in this article from a 1951 edition of the Grantham Journal.

It shows John Bradshaw with one of his paintings. John's brother Michael (who now lives in Australia) recalls:

"I remember seeing it in the school dining room in the old Chapel in Queen St, but have no idea what happened to it when the dining room closed.

I have a vague memory of a Mrs Pepper the dinner lady at Muston school having it as a Fire Screen she lived next to the school in Muston. It would be nice to be able to find it after all those years. Somebody out there would know what happened to it ????"

If anyone recognises the painting and knows where it is today, please do get in touch.
