The Big Wheel Keeps on Turning : Forget Me Not. Collection of the National Coal Mining Museum For England
Centred around the 2 pit wheels at Caphouse Colliery and the coal miner, I’ve tried to show a journey through the passing of time from it being a working mine to become the National Coal Mining Museum for England, it's links with the past, and to wonder what the future holds in these uncertain times. The Davy Lamp is the continuous guiding light and life saver to this day as explained to me by Martin and Richard who both worked as coal miners most of their working lives. and continue their work at the museum. They are among the last generation of coal miners in England.

Early Shift written by Kevin Hey
The painting features a Newcastle Corporation trolleybus at Park Road in Wallsend, which was just 5 minutes away from where Phil used to live in the 1960s.
Early Shift’ shows a Newcastle trolleybus completing the early morning journey on service 34 from Denton Square. The route from Denton Square would have been up Denton Bank passing Benwell High Reservoir, down Westgate Hill, along Mosley Street and by the Head Office of Newcastle Transport at Manors, then City Road skirting the Tyne-Tees Television Studios, along the riverside weaving by the shipyards at Walker and finally to Park Road. Overhead an electric train from The Coast packed with commuters’ speeds towards Newcastle Central Station, while the ‘men folk’ below, with customary flat caps and their bait, are ‘gannin to the yard’ for another day of heavy toil and hard graft.
The trolleybus system was in operation in the city for over 30 years, between 1935 and 1966. The routes covered much of the east, north and west of the city, with trolleys on many routes at peak times every few minutes. Extra services were operated to Gosforth Park on race days, the Town Moor for The Hoppins and for the shipyards at Walker and Wallsend, and ‘The Ministry’ at Benton. The conversion of trolleybus routes to diesel buses began in the summer of 1963, and the trolley ran on 1 October, 1966.
