"The Ashington Group began in the early 1930s as an evening class of Northumberland pitmen keen to learn about art. Within weeks they were producing their own work and within a few years their painting amounted to a complete record of life in a mining community: clocking in, work at he coalface, the pithead baths, Saturday night at the club, the corner shop, dog track, pigeon crees, kitchen, alley and allotment - their paintings ring true transcending the usual limitations of amateur art." 24.5cms x 18.5cms x 1cm. Pp.176, many colour and black & white illustrations. Paperback. VG.
