Sturry

Above painting date unknown.

This is an interesting one that I believe isn't what it says it is. Advertised on Ebay from lambethman from Birchington as an ornate framed and glazed antique print, frame measures 19” x 14”.

I have not come across a pub with this name yet, in or around the Sturry area, but a little bit of research has put me onto a painter from Surrey called Alfred Robert Quinton (1853-1934) who painted the picture below from a village with the name of Shere near Guildford in Surry.

Above painting by Alfred Robert Quinton, date unknown.

The two appear to me a mirror image of each other, albeit painted at different times, possibly by different artists as well.

Mirror images perhaps?

Further research suggests to me that the pub shown in both paintings is actually the "White Horse" in Shere, Surrey.
