Have you ever had the picture out of the frame Michael? Wondering if there is anything on the back of the actual picture (rather than the back of the frame or mounting)?

Well spotted Ruskie I should have known that one as I have been to Barmouth often enough :-\
Is it an original watercolour or Print?

Thank you all so much. My friend will be thrilled to know where it is and a little about the artist.
He's had the picture for about 30 years!
Warm regards

I'd never even heard of Barmouth.  :-[

It looks like a lovely place.  :)

It is a really good place for an old fashioned sand, sea and mountain holiday Ruskie and not too far from the Portmeirion village famous as the location for The Prisoner TV series. ;D

Excellent find Ruskie.
Wouldn't hold many prisoners would it.
Very similar to one in Fremantle Australia designed by Henry Willey Revely.

The same only different I think David.  ;)
No pointy roof, a lot bigger, built 100 years later, hexagonal(?) shape, no windows, no "chimney" ....  ;D

It's nice though.  ;)
