Description: | This picture shows the smithy at Hexham Bridge End. A farmer holds his horse as the blacksmith replaces its shoes. On the right is a barefoot boy sitting in a wheelbarrow and holding a plough. He wears a Northumberland bonnet. A toddler is watching from the door of the cottage, held back by a half-door. Ralph Hedley was one of the most popular and well-respected local artists of his day. His work provides a valuable record of everyday life on Tyneside in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement work artists oil paintings living in the North East other North East small business clothes art made in the North East children men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
