Across the Northend


I thought I would add a few recent drawings and sketches....just to make a point that I don't just do cartoons.
This is a pen & ink drawing, using a very old photograph as reference, which looked across the Northend of King's Lynn. The photographer must have been standing on the roof of St Nicholas Chapel, pointing his camera towards the Loke. North street runs diagonally across the view and there is a gap between houses on the middle left  through which you can make out a sign on a flat roofed building. The sign said 'Frank Castleton & sons', my grandfather.
Almost all of the building you see are gone now....corporation vandalism in the 1960's.
