Coll: Purchased from the artist by H. C. Laurence 1932 (Collins Baker card-index, British Museum).

Lit: MacColl, 1945, pp.118–19, 121.
This and T00126 were painted the same year, and MacColl (op. cit., p. 119) quotes from G. L. Behrend's account of Steer's painting methods and describes how Steer would choose unfashionable, and therefore less crowded, holiday resorts. During the summer of 1932 Behrend and Steer had a particularly successful stay at Greenhithe.
