Default Re: Miller Organs from Norwich

I wonder if there's been a certain amount of "artist's licence" where the sketch of the N&B factory is concerned? Victoria Station extended right up to Queen's Road and the map shows no evidence of any station buildings on the edge of the road. These were further along, beyond Grove Road.

The three storey organ house, now converted to luxury flats certainly isn't in the location shown in the sketch. It's actually on the other side of St Stephens Road.

In the attached picture you can see what looks like the organ house on the junction of St Stephens Road and Chapel Field Road. At the bottom left of the picture is the junction of St Stephen's Road and Queen's Road where the artist, incorrectly in my opinion places the works.
