I wonder if a significant part feature,such as the top of the"lookout"(or whatever it is),were to be reproduced here in reasonable quality in isolation,and then an image matching search were to be done,whether that would yield anything.i have tried it with the original image as published and the returns are just repeats of rootschat references.

Regards
Roger

I'm sorry Cazza I can't think of anything that hasn't already been discussed :'(
When I saw the thread I had a strong feeling of 'deja vu' ;D

The blinds could indicate that the owner was a wealthy textile manufacturer from Manchester and could  afford to buy the most modern and stylish furnishings.

Quite possibly a left-handed man? Somewhere between 5'7" and 5'9" in height, with a slight limp?

Following that train of thought, could they not also indicate that the owner was a wealthy jeweller from Birmingham, a wealthy merchant banker from London or a wealthy colliery owner from the north-east? Or indeed anywhere else in the country?

Yes, or a shipping fleet owner from Liverpool.
It may be that the tower provides a view to the Irish Sea,  and an observer with a telescope could record their ships approaching the port.

Probably, yes. You know Liverpool quite well - which streets provide a view of the Irish sea? I think you may be on the verge of cracking this one.
