"Reclamation Percy Pit"

We’ve donated one of John’s larger watercolours "Reclamation Percy Pit” to the Gemini Trust, an extensive collection of Mining Art gathered together over more than 25 years by Gillian Wales & Dr Bob McManners. The painting will be on show now and again at the Mining Art Gallery which is part of the wonderful Auckland Project in Bishop Auckland in County Durham. You can read about the painting on our shop page.

Auckland Castle, Auckland Tower, three galleries, a museum, the walled garden, deer park, restaurants and shops are all open again on 22nd February after a winter break. It makes for a fantastic day out! Visit their website here: https://aucklandproject.org/plan-a-visit/.
