It's listed here that there is a painting by him in Manchester Art Gallery, done in 1932, titled 'Accrington from my window'. Sadly I can't find an image of this painting, or mention of it in the gallery's present collection. British and Irish paintings in ... - Google Books |

I believe this COULD be the painting by Mr Dawson. His wife also painted. She too, for a short time was a tutor at the old Grammar School too

Thank you. I LOVE it. Is it still in the possession of Manchester Art Gallery, I wonder? |

I can't work out which side he's seeing the viaduct from. I really do like it. There's an early spring calmness about it. The calm before the storm. Going through the war to end all wars, and not knowing what horror lay ahead. |
Re: Accrington born artists.
Just seen the Town Hall, he's looking down, towards the north east.
Can't think from where. I suppose that might be Longridge Fell, on the very distant horizon. |

He did live on Eaton Bank, which is elevated and overlooking where the old maternity home used to be (sort of behind Lee Royd Nursery School) - and of course it has a birds eye view of Accrington centre.

Re: Accrington born artists.
Charles Frederick Dawson - former principal of the Accrington School of Arts and Crafts.
I was always under the impression he was born near Scarborough and educated at Bingley Grammar School???? He won medals for his work in painting and design and a distinction in architectural design. A textbook written by him "Elementary Design" was published by Chapman and Hall. According to "Who's Who in Art" his principal works were "Thistledown" and "At Aylesbury" in water colour and "Polperro Harbour" and "The Hall" in oils. One of his works "From my window" done after his retirement, was purchased by Manchester Corporation (as you said garinda). Amongst his pupils was Mr Walter Marsden, the sculptor who designed war memorials of St Annes and Gatty Park, Church. (His wife also taught at the Art School and she too was a good artist). What skills we have lost!!!! |
