“Henry was ready at five o’clock. There was snow and frost. Men hustled and shouted, loading the vans with crates of fish. The last door banged, the guard showed his green lamp, the Flying Kipper was ready to go”
Arlesburgh Harbour, 1947. This piece depicts the harbour branch prior to its 1960s redevelopment, showing a port in decline as historic infrastructure is removed. The loss is cultural as much as industrial, marking the end of the lead traffic.
This work will form the first part of a triptych, alongside my 1960s depiction of Arlesburgh and a forthcoming 1990s version revisiting the harbour. Together, the three pieces are intended to present the harbour tramway at different stages of its history
This is my piece: Arlesburgh Harbour Tramway on the Little Western Branch Line (1969). North Western Region Nos. 9 & 10 ‘Donald & Douglas’ navigate the busy streets and traffic of the harbour with a goods train. Passing the boats, cars and small industries served by the railway.
This is my composition Bridge over the River Els, inspired by one of my favourite illustrations from The Railway Series. North Western Region No. 1 is seen crossing the Els River with the midday service to Ffarquhar, featuring a special coach added to the usual passenger rake
This is my composition of Ffarquhar Station from the Railway Series. North Western Region No. 1 arrives with the afternoon push-pull service from Knapford Junction, while NWR No. 7 returns from Anopha with a train of stone wagons, ready to sort in the yards beyond the station.
Brendam Bay Harbour and the china clay workings. D2 BoCo has arrived with a rake of empties as numbers 1 and 2, Bill and Ben, stand ready to begin loading, while SCC number 3 waits to draw the loaded hood wagons across the points from the harbour.
Skarloey Road Station, Culdee Fell Railway.
High above Peel Godred, the mountain line climbs into the clouds while the electric railway winds through the valley below.
To the left lies Poll ny Chrink, where the road curls beneath the railway to the coach station and tea rooms.
Dreeym-y-Deighan, better known as the Devil’s Back. This is my composition of Culdee Fell and the Culdee Fell Railway, with its mountain engines working the rack and pinion line to the summit.
Pictured are No.6 Patrick waiting for No.4 Culdee to pass and make the ascent up the Devil’s Back, with No.3 Wilfred barely visible in the distance, already nearing Summit Station. I’ll be adding the station-man’s hut, sandbags, and the hotel tea rooms in the final version soon.
