Description: | An old-fashioned lorry, and a horse and cart are the only traffic on the road in front of the ancient church of St Mary's, Gateshead. The church stands above the Quayside, and suffered great damage in the great fire that devastated this area in 1854. George Wishart was a spare-time painter until he lost his job as an engineer in 1926, during the Depression. He then devoted much more time to art, and painted many watercolour views of Gateshead. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement religion artists living in the North East watercolours art North East artists Gateshead | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
