Vernon mill red staircase

mill factory interior painting north england

This painting has been sold




Acrylic on hardboard 12" x 9" (approx)


This is another mill in my area - Vernon mill is in Stockport. Don't know much about the background to it but I imagine it is similar to Woodend mill. A few small companies have taken root inside but it's still got some cavernous areas. There are some artists who have studios there but so far I haven't yet been able to meet any of them. Unlike Woodend the structure in Vernon mill of brick and concrete has been largely kept as it was and walls and stairs just re-painted over the years.

Very nice light in these interior paintings, and this stairwell is so dramatic.
