The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk cliffs that stretch between Birling Gap and Cuckmere Haven, under care of the National Trust. The chalk cliffs are continuously eroded by the English Channel and form part of the South Downs in East Sussex, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne and within the Seven Sisters Country Park. The cliffs have been occasionally used in film and television as a stand-in for the more famous white cliffs of Dover, most famously featuring at the beginning of the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. In the foreground are the Coastguard Cottages, first built in 1818 by the Navy, being the officer’s house of the Customs and Excise watch. In 1840, they became a Coastguard station watching over the busy shipping in the Channel. World War II saw them occupied by the Army with Cuckmere Haven being heavily fortified against the potential of German assault forces landing there. Cuckmere came under frequent attack by bombers and fighter planes, and many soldiers lost their lives whilst defending the shoreline.

I AM NOT AN ARTIST I AM JUST A MAN WHO PAINTS.L.S.LOWRY).... I have been painting as an amateur artist on and off for many years.I have over the years developed a very unusual use of colour and content, which I now know from experience appeal to many people, Including individual collectors and dealers. Newcastle upon Tyne England has been a hotbed of heavy Industry since the beginning of the industrial revolution, most of which has now gone forever. A lot of my paintings are recollections of youthful images of the period, late 1940s and 1950s. They are inspired by local naïve and primitive pitmen artists I am also an admirer of L.S.LOWRY, and the great American artist EDWARD HOPPER .AND GRANMA MOSES among others.
