Description
Bring home a piece of Britain’s industrial past with this richly detailed oil-on-canvas painting capturing the “High Pit” at Seaham Colliery, County Durham, as envisioned in April 1994 by M. R. Prenelle. Measuring approximately 49 × 39 cm including the ornate gilt frame, this work presents the familiar red brickwork, winding gear, chimney stack, and ancillary structures of a coal mine in quiet repose, bathed in evening—or early morning—light that renders grit and structure in gentle tones.
• Signed lower right: M. R. Prentice
• Inscribed lower left: Seaham Colliery, High Pit
• Date written on back: Painted 04-1994
• Framed in a decorative gilt frame, ready to hang
This meticulously painted view would appeal to collectors of British industrial art, enthusiasts of coal mining heritage, or anyone with ties to the Durham/Seaham area. It makes both a striking display piece and a thoughtful gift for those interested in regional history, mining communities, or 20th-century oil landscape/industrial genre.
