Description

A tender observation of rural working life, characteristic of Alfred’s painting throughout his career, within a steep cliffside setting, characteristic of North Yorkshire coastal villages; the protagonists of this painting heroically drag their sea coal, scoured from the beaches in all weathers back to the houses nestled precariously above.

Decades later, these traditions remained in some areas of the North Yorkshire seaside communities, as can be seen in Chris Killip’s ‘Skinningrove’ and ‘Seacoal’ documentary monographs.
