The building was demolished when River Drive was built in 1936. (Albert) Ernest Black was a landscape, portrait, flower and street scene painter who worked in both oils and watercolours. Many of his works were taken from 19th century photographs, but he also worked from observation. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East buildings and views art South Tyneside North East artists leisure | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
