Just the other week I visited the Fuelling the Railway Revolution exhibition at the rather wonderful #AucklandProject #MiningArtGallery (Bishop Auckland, County Durham).
Amazing how quickly steam-driven railways spread across the country.
Coming Home The colliery lies in the background as three miners head home along the pit road. We can almost hear their conversation. There appears to be a little more spring in their step compared to miners trudging towards the colliery, often lost in thought. Painting by Norman Cornish
