Those are great paintings, Fred, who was the artist? 
I enjoy following ‘Grim Art’ on Twitter - the account is well worth a look through:

Well done, Lolly.
He is a very good painter and so are some others on Pinterest.
Grim Art group also...I wish I had their talent. It seems that Lowry was not alone...!!!

Thanks, Lolly
A professional Lancashire artist, born 1952, Steven lives on the outskirts of Manchester.
Steven's talent was recognised when in 1974 he was the winner of the Manchester Evening News Art Competition - open to professional artists, as well as amateurs. From this, demand for his work increased so much that Steven became a professional artist in 1978. He is now greatly sought after by galleries throughout the country, as well as many private collectors. originalpaintings.com
You’re right, Fred, there is a wealth of creative talent!

They're just brilliant paintings and as Fred says the atmosphere gives it the impression that you're there...so much talent.

Here is a photograph of similar. The photograph is from the 1920's, but the shop was still there in the 1970's... and it looked very much the same, even down to the old iron lamp. Me and my mates used to hang about outside just chillin', not getting into bother.
Crompton's Corner Shop, Kingsdown Road, Abram.

Nice photo, Cad. Just a point also...WE also used to hang around a shop or such like back then and never got into any bother.
