The location, Sinclair Row, appears to have been a street in Aberdeen. Hoyle worked regularly in Aberdeenshire in the mid-1950s. In 1954 he created a poster for the Post Office Savings Bank, depicting the beach at Pennan in Aberdeenshire. Hoyle was a prominent member of the Great Bardfield group of artists from Essex, whose members (and fellow villagers) included Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Michael Rothenstein.
