This is "Smithfield Spires" by Harold Steggles from 1931. Harold lived at Chadwell Heath when he painted it & every day he would walk from either Liverpool or Fenchurch Street Stations to his workplace at Grey's Inn & cross Holborn Viaduct, which is where he took his view. #HaroldSteggles

Every time it's Eno and Cale's birthdays I promote the hell out of WRONG WAY UP, a multicolored cuckoo clock of an album out of time in 2026 as much as in 1990. Cale's "Cordoba" ranks among his best. humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2015/09/19/w...
