Mystery Painting

A friend has inherited this substantial, impressionistic painting showing a Victorian or Edwardian lady with a parasol in an unpaved village street. Or is that a stream running through it? The signature is impossible to read. Only the initials B.P. are clear. It is undated. The heavy frame - screwed to the wall - is a style from around 1900, but the picture could have been inserted much later. Does anyone recognize this painting or the artist's style? If, so, please leave a comment.
