Birmingham Skyline

A B&W version of this 1898 drawing has been posted before. Can anyone remember where it was taken from or where the foreground garden/park was please ? Cant find the discussion about the B&W drawing. Viv.

Thank you. Yes it is Highgate Park - and searching this forum found the posts below. The image, originally posted by Dennis Williams has reference numbers superimposed and Rupert replied with a list of those buildings in the view. The late Phil also provided a map of the foreground, I think from 1890.

Viv.
