Outskirts of Cheltenham is undoubtedly a work that Newton took immense pride in. When first exhibited at The Leicester Galleries he attached to it the substantial price of 150 gns (prices for other pictures in the exhibition started at 13 gns). Furthermore he retained the work within his possession, selecting it for inclusion in prestigious international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale and the Carnegie Institute's annual international exhibition.
A photograph of the present work is included within the artist's personal records (Tate Gallery Archive 799/1, p.43, cat.no.43).
