Tynemouth Station in Partnership with North Tyneside Art Studio

Ken Byers Cranes archive drawings in recognition of North Tyneside’s industrial heritage. These beautifully intricate charcoal works were produced at Swan Hunters, A & P Appledore, and P & G McNulty Engineering Ltd between 1994-96, where Byers’ was given rare access to the sites. The charcoal engineering drawings were extended into a series of large abstract sublime drawings between 1995 and 2000.
