The artwork of Walter Stuart Lloyd

[Heartland]

This painter seems to have been a prolific artist capturing coastal scenes and rivers.

 

He produced a work called the Watergate at New Forest at Beaulieu which. There was an estuary there that upstream from that point became a river called Beaulieu. The concept of a watergate would suggest a form of navigation from the Solent.

The old water gate, one of a pair, no price listed so guess if i have to ask i can't afford

Yes Haynes Fine Art used to be at the Antiques Show NEC their paintings and water colours were not cheap

 

As to the location it is not clear how much is accuracy and how much is an artist may be trying to capture a past. There was certainly traffic on the river estuary to a brickworks and there was a water corn mill and sluice upstream. The 6 in os map shows the following:

I'm guessing the "Carpenters Dock" at the bottom would have been something akin to Constable's Boat Building near Flatford Mill

The Gloucester image is a view from the Severn, but how much is the interpretation of the Artist as Gloucester Cathedral was at a distance from the Severn, but as suggested the top one is on the Thames near the junction with the Wilts & Berks Canal

In the late 18th and early 19th century many man of war ships were built at Bucklers Hard on the river. Timber coming from the New Forest and it’s likely a number of barges for local work would have been needed.

This was the water mill at Beaulieu in 1979. They let me in to measure up the boulter so I could make one for Eling tide-mill.
