32 High Street, Berwick?

[Phodgetts]

Hello all, the painting has arrived home from being professionally cleaned, and I am thilled with the results, the filth has gone and the painting now glows. I took a photo of it this evening in artificial light, I am not sure you will be able to appreciate the difference, but I can tell you it has been transformed!
After languishing in an attic unframed for 100 years or so, it is finally seeing the light of day and is loved. All I now need to do is get it framed and hung on a wall here at home.

Enjoy and best wishes

Philip

I think you may find the following of interest. The section on Private schools in particular has much info on Wallace and the institution. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/9619/2/9619_6406-vol2.PDF
Happy Reading!

Both terms are still in use in Berwick. I always refer to this street as Marygate as it sounds more interesting than plain old High Street!

Pete, thanks for your comment, yes, I am absolutely over the moon with the painting, it glows and changes with the light in the room every minute of every day, sometimes looking a little foreboding when the weather is gloomy. Though far away I get to 'visit' Berwick and the Tweed everyday! I can't stop looking at it.
