The reference for this painting was a photograph I took one morning walking around Sale Water Park to the south of Manchester in the North of England. The Water Park, is an area of countryside and parkland containing a lake, woodland, meadows, the river Mersey, and a water sports centre. Visitors can walk along wooded footpaths around the lake and to the river Mersey or along to Jackson’s Boat Bridge. The lake at Sale was a gravel pit, flooded after the extraction of gravel for the nearby M60 motorway in the 1970s. During the Jacobite uprisings of the eighteenth century, Stuart sympathisers met secretly at the nearby Jackson Boat Inn. According to local tales, they drank to the health of the Pretender Prince Charles ‘across the water’ in France, symbolising this with a bowl of water placed in the middle of the table.
