Toad's Hole Found

Last week we published the article below looking to find the location of a painting believed to be from the local area.

We were fortunate to hear from Bob Braid of the Milford on Sea Historical Record Society, and it looks as if he may have identified the location of the painting, as it looks very similar to an old photo his archives held of Cliff Walk, Barton on Sea. Bob also found an interesting birds eye view of Taddiford Gap & Keyhaven on YouTube.

Only guessing, but on the painting in last week's article there was what looked like a hole in the foreground, that may just be 'Toad's Hole'?

Other readers have also suggested that Toad's Hole is possibly a reference to Taddiford Gap (Toad Ford) although the cliff has eroded so much it might be difficult to place exactly.

Last Week's Article:

We have been contacted by an art dealer who is trying to identify the location of the painting below. The painting has a reference to Toad's Hole (Milford on Sea and Hordle.)

Can anyone throw any light on where this might be?  Doesn't seems to be a view that I recognise.
