About the Item

Title: The Monument Southport Lord Street Lancashire Signed 1968 British Watercolour by John Steane (b.1931) Signed: Bottom left Size: 14.5 inches (height) x 22 inches (width) watercolor painting on paper, unframed condition: Good, with some slight corner wear and light creasing to edges Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: A beautifully observed watercolour street scene by British artist John Steane (b.1931), this signed work from 1968 captures The Monument on Lord Street, Southport, a distinguished Victorian shopping boulevard in Lancashire known for its elegant arcades, ironwork verandas, and tree-lined pavements. The view looks across a quiet promenade shaded by spring foliage, with green benches drawing the eye toward the historic sandstone colonnade and surrounding architecture. Southport’s Lord Street has long been admired for its combination of Regency and Victorian design, said to have influenced the layout of the Champs-Élysées in Paris. This painting reflects both its grandeur and tranquillity, with dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy and hints of warm red and ochre façades behind the trees. Steane’s style balances fine architectural drawing with expressive brushwork in the foliage and shadows, capturing the essence of a quiet moment in an urban oasis. A rare urban subject among the artist’s predominantly rural and coastal works, this piece holds particular appeal for collectors of Northern British towns, architectural history, or scenes of 20th-century everyday life.
