Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough - c1911 [Painting 4]
-
Description
Based on a well known postcard this painting depicts the junction of Linthorpe Road with Newport Road and Corporation Road. The King’s Head Hotel that had opened in 1862 was replaced by J. Newhouse Ltd, now Debenhams. Collingwood & Son opening in 1886, now Miss Selfridge, was eventually extended with an almost identical copy of the original façade. Looking up Linthorpe Road, the large bay window belonged to Forshaw Ltd, the tobacconist, and then on to the huge ‘Arcade Store’ of Dickson and Benson. It was destroyed by the actions of a 13 year old arsonist in 1942. Down at the junction of Wilson Street stood the Leeds Hotel with the Grand Hotel behind on Zetland Road. These were also destroyed in 1942, but by the Luftwaffe this time. Acrylic on stretched card, 22x15 inches. -
