Hello! Wooo! We’re at the end! (with an added bonus!) This is my twelfth instalment of my blog series about a few beautiful and iconic buildings I have painted that reside in Salford and Manchester! This post focusses on the one and only Salford Museum and Art Gallery! Originally painted in watercolours, it was continued in the same consistency as my Salford Lads Club painting. The colour pattern on old buildings in Salford are Red Brick, Green paint and ‘gold’. Go a-hunting and there’ll you’ll find the theme. I love this place as it originally held mostly all of Lowry’s paintings until the majority of them were moved to the Lowry Centre in Salford Quays. It holds so much strong history here. Salford Museum and Art Gallery was the UK’s ‘first free public library’, which opened in January 1850, followed in November by a museum and art gallery. The building was a mansion house known as Lark Hill, which had been built in the 1790s and has given its name to our famous Lark Hill Place; a Victorian street within the museum.” BONUS POST! All my prints are available to buy at great value, here! I couldn’t help but create a painting in Gouache of Worsley Court House! Why did i create this? Because I know it holds so many special memories for so many people! Even my own family have celebrated their birthday here! It’s set in a beautiful surrounding in Worsley, we are aware of the huge motorway it leads onto but does that even matter when you’ve got Worsley Canal and the beautiful woods surrounding it! Have a look in my webstore to see the other prints available of some of your favourite buildings in Salford and Manchester, here! “Worsley Court House was built in 1849 as the local manor court. After 1888 it became a magistrates' court. Early in its history it was used for night classes and is now the village hall. The courthouse is a Tudor building featuring timber, stone and slate.” which I feel I’ve captured rather well! Go and visit Worsley Village! It is small but has a wonderful array of local pubs, restaurants and if you’re possibly looking to move to the area, an estate agents. A wonderful part of Salford. P.S.
