I spotted this water colour on the St Marys page that was linked to in another thread.

I was wondering, where do you think the artist was standing when he painted it?

I think it must be the top of Holt Hill area.

I'd go for left to right- St James's, Flaybrick, St Marys, St Johns(demolished) and Christ Church,Oxton.
Any other guesses?
