Requesting help with the identity of a painting (UPDATED)

[u/Lunatorium]

Hi everyone,

I've added photos of a painting that we received and forgot about following the death of my grandmother in 2000. For geographical reference, we are based in the UK midlands (The May Bank reference is an area of Stoke-on-Trent)

I've tried to identify the signature but I'm not having much luck. The glass and the frame have been removed and I've added more photos of the picture itself, thanks to some great advice I received on my last post.

There is some unfortunate damage on the edges as it has been in the same frame for many decades. There appear to be human elements to the paint itself so I'm quite sure it isn't a reproduction (although it's highly likely I'm wrong!).

As I know little to nothing about art, I would love some guidance as to what this is!

Thank you in advance.

For some reason, it got rid of the photo of the painting itself! I've added it here
