Poulton-le-fylde, near Blackpool is a 1943 watercolor by Pile, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet street with two-story stone houses on either side. A parked car sits near the curb, and a lone figure walks down the narrow road. In the distance, a castle-like building looms over a small town square with a few trees. The artist used soft, muted colors to keep the scene calm and simple. The buildings look old, with small windows and dark trim, giving the street a cozy, timeless feel. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
