As a young girl, Norah Pollard regularly walked to the top of Wrose Hill where she would stop for a breather and take in the magnificent panoramic view of Bradford.
Norah has always loved the view, stretching right over the city, and dreamed that one day someone would capture it in a painting.
So when artist Alan Hydes asked Telegraph & Argus readers to suggest Bradford views for him to paint on his television programme, Painting the Past, Norah suggested her beloved Wrose spot at the top of Wrose Road and Gaisby Lane.
Alan loved the view and the pair were filmed at the site, looking out across the city.
Now, three years later, Alan and Norah have been reunited for a special T&A offer giving readers chance to snap up limited edition signed prints of Alan's watercolour, Listers Mill.
It's the first time signed prints have been available to the public. Until now, Norah, pictured with the painting, was the only person to have one.
The prints of Alan's painting have been produced using the 'Giclee' process which prints on to watercolour paper so it looks like the original.
Norah, of Eccleshill, who has completed an art course at Bradford College, said: "Alan captured the soul of Bradford in that painting, I get something new out of it every time I look at it.
"I used to live at Wrose and I'd walk up the hill on my way back from shopping in Shipley. Now I'm in my 70th year and coming here again is wonderful - it looks just as beautiful. On a clear day nothing compares to it. Listers Mill dominates the skyline, but because it's panoramic you can see right round to Salts Mill.
"At night the sky fills with stars, I used to feel I could reach out and touch them."
Alan, of Apperley Bridge, is an internationally-established artist who has had work archived in the National Portrait Gallery in London. He has painted several celebrities, including TV presenter Richard Whiteley, actor Ricky Tomlinson and the late Thora Hird for his TV series In The Frame and Painting the Stars.
Standing on a windswept Wrose Hill, he described the view below as "one of the best in Yorkshire."
"There are lots of paintings of the city centre but they're often quite solemn, with the tall Victorian buildings. I wanted something less claustrophobic and more green," he said.
"Listers Mill is a powerful symbol of Bradford and I've captured the narrow streets leading up to it, and the park in front.
"When people see it they say: 'That's not Bradford, it's too green.' Well, it is Bradford - from this lovely point."
