Description: | This design for a wall painting shows Newcastle life over the ages. On the left is Newcastle Cathedral, together with a fishwife and fisherman. In the centre is a miner with pickaxe and lamp working in a low seam of coal. Above his head is the outline of the newly built Tyne Bridge, which opened in 1928. Beside the bridge is a face representing the Tyne sea god. A shipyard worker stands in front of the castle on the right. Thomas Pattison studied at Armstrong College, Newcastle, and later taught at the School of Art at King's College, Newcastle. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists living in the North East watercolours transport buildings and views art North East artists Newcastle coal mining shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
