Mersey shore - Knotts Hole
toxteth.net > places > shore > knotts hole



There's a bit of artistic licence in this painting. The viewpoint seems to be on the cliffs above the Dingle Shore to the south of Knott's Hole, looking towards David's Throne & the Alcove; you can see the mouth of the Dingle Stream in front of the headland.
 In reality the pretty view across the river to Wirral would be blocked by Dingle Point, but artists are well known for rearranging things for a good picture and Herdman copied many such local pictures for posterity.


A hand coloured version of Herdman's portrait of Knotts Hole.
