Hello Roger, The artwork is part of the Government Art Collection (ref: GAC 10977). https://artcollection.culture.gov.uk/artwork/10977/ It may be on display in a Government building somewhere in the world, as some of their collection of some 14700 works are scattered across 125 countries worldwide (embassies and consulates, etc.) https://artcollection.culture.gov.uk/about/what-is-the-government-art-collection/ The chances of seeing it on display in a UK public gallery are slim (to non-existent!), but you could contact them and quote the GAC reference, so they can locate its whereabouts on their database. You may find that it is ‘in archives’, which unfortunately most of their works actually are. http://museu.ms/museum/details/14944/government-art-collection A bit of background reading and some links to explore, hope you find useful? —— It actually just ‘clicked’ with me where the origin of Abbeydale Road comes from now, as all the old maps show this as the route from Sheffield and the references to ‘Dale Abbey’ <> ‘Abbey Dale’ see reference to ‘Beauchief and Abbey Dale Station’, when it was in Derbyshire in 1883 😁 https://maps.nls.uk/view/101600205

I am aware that following negotiations with the vendor, that this item, along with some other related material has returned to Sheffield. Although the new owner wishes to remain anonymous, I can tell you that these materials are now being held very close to the districts that they cover. I have personally seen the same.The material is being stored in an appropriate manner, whilst thought is being given as to whether any restoration should be undertaken, or as to whether it is best preserved in its present condition.

In this case, it is referring to Court number 2, House number 1

Na den Heartshome On a trip to the Ancient City of Ephesus in 2001, the Turkish Guide showing us around the site said you're from Sheffield in England aren't you. How do you know that! You speak English like my Lecturer. The guide said he spent 2 years at Sheffield University.

I would say that any of these houses left standing on Thirlwell Road, Heeley, are original builds.

My mum and dad met each other at that fair one year and were married a year later
