Description: | This picture shows Mowbray Road and the Ballast Hills at South Shields, looking north, as it appeared in 1897. These artificial hills on the bents were composed of slag and rubble from the various glass-works. This view, taken from approximately half-way up the Broadway, also shows the newly made Mowbray Road, laid out in 1890. This is one of many scenes that the artist (Albert) Ernest Black painted from old photographs. He lived in the Shields area for much of his life. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists 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 |
