yes you have caught this one really well Terence and the grimness of life back then

I'm not normally a fan of Loweryesque paintings but I like your interpretation of the Lancashire mills. It has lots of atmosphere especially the huddled figures.

Thanks ladies for your coments they were grim times

This is painted in watercolours on Saunders 200lb rough paper. It was done at a workshop on similar types of subject. I adopted a highly stylised method without being too Lowryesque. I knew these scenes well having lived in South Lancashire from 1949 to 66, I feel I have conveyed something of what the scenes were like with the antlike workforce scurrying about their business with a background of grim mill buildings.
