The Romance of the Railway - ONLINE EXHIBITION
We're delighted to welcome Ian Scott Massie's solo exhibition The Romance of the Railway. A collection of watercolours and screenprints he has been working on for over 3 years.
Hopefully it will all be available to view in the flesh in a larger venue soon, but you can see the whole of the exhibition plus some of the stories that accompany it on a specially built website HERE.
This exhibition was born out of memories of the East Coast Mainline which runs from Kings Cross Station in London to Waverley Station in Edinburgh - one of the great railway journeys of the world and the route of the Flying Scotsman. It includes stories which surround the line with its cast of ghosts, film makers, inventors, criminals and poets. Explore the stations and stories HERE

The Romance of The Railway: Great Northern by Ian Scott Massie
£12.95
Ian Scott Massie has written a book to accompany the exhibition which includes many of the paintings and prints alongside the stories which weave alongside the tracks. 127 pages, illustrated in colour throughout. "Our journey begins at Kings Cross - a place with deep roots. The station was built in 1851 on the bank of a vanished river. About 12,000 years ago a glacier melted leaving behind a shallow valley. The valley became the bed of the The River Fleet, now channelled underground, but its course is reflected in the buildings around Kings Cross."
