Compare the b&w photo of this painting below with the colour one. Bits of the sky and bottom in the colour version are missing, sawn off, we suspect, by RE. In the B&W version the painting is signed and dated R. Eurich. 1961. When the painting was sold at Tooth's in 1970, it was dated as 1961-67. We assume it was cut down in 1967.

Even more was chopped off this one: The Tram to Hawworth (1968) - illustrated below.
