Description: | This picture shows the construction of Thompson's Shipyard at Southwick, Sunderland. The National Shipbuilding Company's Yard opened in 1943 to increase wartime shipping output. It was built on the site of Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson's former shipyard. In this powerful image, the strong vertical lines of the girders contrast with the horizontal beams and the metal plates stacked in the foreground. Griselda Allan taught at Ruskin College, Oxford. She painted scenes in the North East while on holiday, and later moved to Sunderland. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists oil paintings living in the North East art North East artists made in the North East Sunderland men war shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
