Perhaps the most painted and photographed building in England, Bambugh Castle looks as if it was built for the artist. Northumberland has more castles than any other county, and while now romantic, they are there because of much turmoil in the Borders centuries ago. I’ve painted this scene dozens of times and they are all very different, mainly because of the weather. Our lovely county has many miles of clean, quiet, sandy beaches and, fortunately, it’s still a bit of a secret. Ah! I think I’ve just spilled the beans!. The original is in oils and is about 20” x 16”.

Another thousand years and who knows how we’ll celebrate the end of the 3rd millenniem – if we’re still around. The original is in acrylics and about 20” x 16”.

A local tourist attraction left by the Romans. They built things to last in those days. It runs right across the north of England from Wallsend to the Irish sea and many people walk the 70 odd miles of it’s length. Well worth a look. The original is in watercolours and about 20” x 16”.

We’re blessed with lots of castles in Northumberland and lots of history to go with them. Together with a fine coastline we artists a spoiled for choice. This fishing coble would not normally be as far up river, but then hey, we have artistic licence. Oil

Dunstanburgh again but from the north this time. A wonderful walk along a sandy beach and a reminder of younger days when I too sailed my boat. Watercolour

Again, this is one of our many castles in Northumberland – in this case on Holy Island rich in history. The boat is a coble which is common to the north east but many are out of use due to overfishing. Oil painting

The Guildhall in Berwick-upon-Tweed (the northernmost town in England), Northumberland, England. Built in the 1750s, it is possibly the town’s most handsome building, facing and dominating broad Marygate. Of rich brown stone in a Classical design, it has a grand portico with giant Tuscan columns and a tall spire. The bells ring for Holy Trinity Church as well as the curfew. The top floor used to be a jail and prisoners were aired on the balcony round the roof. The restoration of the hall reinstated the buttermarket in the colonnaded rear ground floor and brought in a coffee-bar and small shop. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

This rope bridge at Plankey Mill, nr. Ridley in Northumberland was in use until 2006 when it was deemed unsafe. Now been replaced with a wider pontoon bridge. I have walked across and back, scary enough when the water in the river is low like here. Wouldn’t like to try it with river in full flood as sometimes it is!! Camera: Olympus Om707 – 28-80mm Sigma lens. / Digital remastered Negative. / Agfa 200asa film.

Holy Island Causeway this afternoon…..the tide had just gone back out and the causeway reopened so there was still plenty of water around…...

A number of years ago, our family had a week long holiday further north, up in Northumberland, England, where we visited numerous tourist attractions, open beautiful bays, and tiny coves which is where i took this photo. I can’t remember much about the cove, but I remember seeing this beautiful scene with a shored boat with the vibrant colours and the wonderful rocky shore behind. i could have stayed all day and let the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks below and the slight breeze just refresh me. The sun was streaming down. It was at that point that it hit me…. I was on holiday! This boat was experiencing what I so desperately needed – a rest! This is a HDR generated image using three bracketed shots. I have also added an Orton effect to give a very nostalgic, artistic feel.

The former Guildhall (now the Town Hall) in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland (the northernmost town in England). Completed in 1754, it is possibly the town’s most handsome building, facing and dominating broad Marygate. Of rich brown stone in a Classical design, it has a grand portico with giant Tuscan columns and a tall spire. The bells in the Town Hall is used to summon people to the church services at Holy Trinity Church which has no steeple, tower or church bell. It is no wonder that many visitors to Berwick mistake the Town Hall for the parish church. the Town Hall Bells also still ring the curfew at 8 o’clock every evening. The top floor used to be a jail and prisoners were aired on the balcony round the roof. The restoration of the hall reinstated the buttermarket in the colonnaded rear ground floor and brought in a coffee-bar and small shop. Berwick upon Tweed Town Hall is a Grade 1 Listed Building. LBS Number: 237394. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix. Camera: Canon EOS 450D BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: England or you can look at all my HDR shots. A little poem I found (with two versions): “Berwick is an ancient town / A church without a steeple / A pretty girl at every door / And very generous people.” OR ? A bridge without a middle arch / A church without a steeple / A midden heap in every street / And damned conceited people.” The less complimentary verse is attributed to Robbie Burns

Berwick-upon-Tweed or simply Berwick is a town in the county of Northumberland and is the northernmost town in England, on the east coast at the mouth of the River Tweed. It is situated 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the Scottish border. Berwick-Upon-Tweed, the former county town of Berwickshire, had a population of 11,665 at the time of the United Kingdom Census 2001. A civil parish and town council were created in 2008. Founded during the time of the kingdom of Northumbria, which was part of the Heptarchy. The area was central to historic border war between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland for centuries; the last time it changed hands was when England reconquered it in 1482. Berwick remains a traditional market town and it also boasts some notable architectural features, in particular its defence ramparts and barrack buildings. Wikipedia EOS 1D MkIII, 17-40mm (L)

Click Here For Large Framed View The castle is located in what was once the very volatile border area between England and Scotland. Not only did the English and Scots fight, but the area was frequently attacked by Vikings. The castle was built in 1550, around the time that Lindisfarne Priory went out of use, and stones from the priory were used as building material. It is very small by the usual standards, and was more of a fort. The castle sits on the highest point of the island, a whin stone hill called Beblowe. Lindisfarnes’s position in the North Sea made it vulnerable to attack from Scots and Norsemen, and by Tudor times it was clear there was a need for a stronger fortification. This resulted in the creation of the fort on Beblowe Crag which between 1570 and 1572 formed the basis of the present castle.

On our families recent visit to Northumberland, in Northern England, we spent an afternoon at this lovely bridge, just taking in and enjoying the countryside. This is the Union Chain Bridge, which spans the River Tweed, bwtween Horncliffe, Northumberland, in England and Fishwick, Borders, Scotland. It was fun walking across it and back. My kids loved yelling from one side to the other, my little girl being able to say that she was shouting all the way to Scotland. LOL! The bridge has a fascinating history. / “When it opened in 1820 it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world with a span of 137 metres (449 ft), and the first vehicular bridge of its type in the United Kingdom. The bridge has been maintained by the Tweed Bridges Trust, since the abolition of turnpike tolls in 1883. It is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument.” / It is being restored for its bicentenial celebration in 2020. This is a HDR image combining 5 bracketed shots using Photomatix Pro for Macs. Slight adjustments in lighting and contrast were made using the enhanced details tool. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/14 / 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60 / ISO 125 Selective colouring was applied using Photoshop CS.
