Cuerden Valley Park - the Park's 2011 version
This is a photo of Robert Townley Parker of Cuerden hall circa mid 1800s. MP of Preston in the first parliament of Queen Victoria at the age of 24. The portrait is by Philip Westcott - I think. Kept by Harris Museum but not currently on display. I was wondering where it was painted and what the scene in the background was? I was wondering where the scene is in the background, London? Preston anyone?
