Back of Old Houses, Chapel Street, Salford
Summary
Rear view of houses on Chapel Street, Salford. The houses are asymmetric, with timber beams and the central house has a prominent brick chimney. There are no people in the scene: this drawing was probably made as an architectural record prior to demolition. The artist has used a limited palette of black, brown and terractotta, with a blue-grey for sky and window panes. See 1909.643 for front view.
