Industrial Northern England

Coal mining has been an essential part of British industry since Roman times. This collection looks at the day-to-day hardship in the northern mining communities themselves. The paintings remember the narrow cobbled streets, the football heroes (Bobby Charlton), the gas lite homes and the bleak industrial landscapes.
