Last week it was the 90th anniversary of the first meeting of the Ashington Group. Check out a wonderful new exhibition celebrating these fantastic Pitmen Painters below 👇🏻 (a nice distraction from politics over the pond).
Coalface Drawers is a new exhibition celebrating the early years of the Pitmen Painters. Watch this short film to see behind the scenes of the exhibition.

Today I am remembering David Thomas, my children’s 3 x great grandfather, who died alongside 438 other miners & a rescuer in the Senghenydd explosion on 14 Oct 1913. David left behind a widow, Mary Ann, and 5 children, who had to walk forward into an uncertain future without him.
