Spent some time in Micklegate, York recently and sketched a visual diary. Coffee in Partisan. The Falcon is one of my fave pubs and around the corner is the amazing door at Jacob’s Well. #amsketching

Finished the watercolour of Stott’s Buildings in Rawtenstall. Stott was a clothier and he built his factory beneath his home. #amsketching

Sketched two portals from Hexham. Left is at Hexham Park, right is the entrance gate to the Henry King Memorial Almshouses in Hexham, Northumberland. #amsketching
