I seem to remember that Turner painted Sheffield from somewhere near Derbyshire Lane. Does anyone know a website where I can see the picture, and does anyone know where he was exactly when he painted it (or sketched it or whatever)?

Don't know if it's online anywhere, but I've seen it several times in the Mappin Art Gallery. Don't know if it's currently on display there.

I'm sure a call or email to Sheffield Museums would help you out.
