Funded by Wilkinson Hardware Stores Ltd. and installed January 2002 this is one of 4 1m x 3m paint on wood panels by George Large, RSBA, RIPW. The murals depict aspects of daily life in Chesterfield, with this one ‘Transport’, depicting a barge negotiating Tapton Lock, a railway locomotive in the Barrow Hill engine shed, and Chesterfield railway station. Bedfordshire-based artist George Large, in 1996, painted a mural for the Thameslink station at London’s Kings Cross. His style is reminiscent of the work of several inter-war and early post-war British painters ultimately derived from the modernist innovations of Parisian Cubism.
