Description: | This picture shows the Paint Factory at the foot of the Lawe, South Shields, as it looked in around 1866. The old Workhouse and the Red Paint Factory were on the site now covered by Lawe Road and George Scott Street. The paint factory was taken down and the site sold to the Corporation when the workhouse was demolished in 1877. 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: | work artists living in the North East watercolours buildings and views art South Tyneside North East artists | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
