Wonderful view, the Coalfield brickworks chimney can just be seen on the right hand side, (my grandfather was for many years the manager of the brickworks, when he retired his son (my uncle) took over the job as manager until it was finally closed down). No  publisher but looks very much like it could have been published by MEDCALF.
