This is "Appledore" by John Cooper from 1935. The tower on the horizon was Chanter's Folly which was, very sadly, demolished in October 1952. It had fallen in to disrepair & it had been deemed to be unsafe. #JohnCooper #Appledore #EastLondonGroup

'Eel boats, Dinan,' (1928) is from the period when Christopher Nevinson was turning towards a realistic, traditionalist style of painting, departing from the abstract modernist works of his early career and WW1 period.

In Herbert Badham's 'The Night Bus,' (1943) the interior lights highlight the different figures and their gestures, all still, fixed in the moment. A woman reads a magazine, a man smokes, the conductor chats to a passenger.

With named storm Amy #StormAmy in the news this morning, maybe this one of "Windy Day on Marine Parade, Southend" by Brynhild Parker from 1930 might be appropriate. It is in the collection at the Beecroft Gallery in Southend. Originally exhibited as just "Southend", the modified title is perfect.
