Item 11: "Nr Clunbury" 37 on drawing. This is NOT a print but an ORIGINAL artwork; No professionally verified authorship. 
A lovely original pen and ink drawing on Endsor and Newton Bristol Board signed with the single letter "K," dated 36 for 1936. This is one from a large collection of topographical views mainly from the lake district and all dated between 1936 and 1940; most of these are of bridges and churches. These may be for a book or for publication. Please note this is an original pen and ink drawing and NOT a print. I have tried to research the artist (definitely a professional artist) - so far my best attribution is to Walter Monckton Keesey A.R.E. 1887 -1970 who published several sketchbooks of his topographical work and pen and ink drawings for postcard publication, and sometimes signed his work with a single "K." 

Broadward Bridge its two arches take the B4385 main road over the River Clun in Hoptonheath. Near the bridge lays Clunbury a tiny and old village and civil parish in south Shropshire, England. The biggest (small anyway) town near is Clun and the villages of Clunton, Purslow and Aston on Clun. In the village of Clunbury you can find the pretty Norman Church of St Swithin and a Church of England is used as primary school. The village lies between 145m and 155m above sea level. This area is famous for being the most silent and quite of all british countryside places. 

Dimensions: loosely mounted on 12" x 10" inches sheets, and actual drawing portion is approximately 6.55 x 5.45" inches.
