Fine art gallery, displaying the original paintings and prints of Paul Stangroom. Paul paints the wild, remote landscapes of the North Pennines, often through the Windows of its long abandoned cottages and barns. Paul also teaches and paints in the gallery. Small gifts available - books, cards, posters. 'My paintings are a response to the beautiful and often stark landscape of The North Pennines - from broad views of the moors and fells, to more intimate views glimpsed through windows in abandoned dwellings. The landscape is littered with the scars of mining and quarrying and I am producing paintings of places as they are slowly being reclaimed by nature. I am constantly amazed at the amount of abandoned dwellings that I keep finding and they are a rich source of inspiration to me,' Paul Stangroom Winner of the Royal Watercolour Society Award, 2009 Please ring if you are making a special visit to the gallery (07968 990552). Approximate opening hours are Mon-Fri 10.00-18.00; Sat 10.00-17.00; Sun 11.00-16.00
