Description: | Newcastle artist John Storey's view of Prior's Haven beach at Tynemouth was painted from a sketch made in 1849, though the watercolour itself was completed much later. Wheeled tents known as bathing machines are lining the water's edge. There are also a couple of boating versions of these on the sea. These allowed people to swim in the sea without being seen by onlookers. The building with a huge chimney at the back of the beach is a factory of some kind. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North Tyneside artists living in the North East watercolours small business buildings and views art North East artists made in the North East men military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
