Woodhall Mains Farm, circa 1940s
Woodhall Mains Farm is near the end of Woodhall Road, just across the Water of Leith from Juniper Green where Edwin lived. His painting features a farm yard flanked by a barn and some hay stacks. There seems to be a big pile of hay or dung in the yard. The painting is undated, but his treatment of the sky is similar to a few paintings he made in 1947.
The scene is much changed today. The barn's been converted into a house and a hedge planted in the farm yard. The third photo, taken in 2010, shows how it was before redevelopment.
