Rocklegend Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Pleased to see that you have now almost completed the set, for they are certainly superb pictures, and I envy you. I am still searching for a number --the Brightside tram terminus is one that delights me whenever I see it, for I can associate with that scene from my childhood! I haven't looked back on this site for some time, but I presume you have been to the POJ website. The Brightside one is available on the POJones website but the one I'm after isn't.

rubydazzler Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I bought 'Terminus' sometime ago, and it never palls. I absolutely love that painting and I'm not really a aficionado of art. I've got a few prints including 'Winter Crossing' by POJ, but 'Terminus is the one. I honestly think that the great Turner would've been proud of that, if he'd painted it. Some may laugh at that but that's what I think. A wonderful piece of work.I'm so pleased to read that, because iirc I originally found you the POJ site after reading your (hazy) memory of the painting? I'm really pleased that you love the scene so much. His paintings are so evocative of the time, and bring back so many memories, don''t they? If his children ever decided to produce either cards or postcards again, I'd be more than honoured to stock them. A few years ago I managed to get hold of a few dozen cards of George Cunningham's Fulwood Terminus with tram in snow and they absolutely flew out!

Lucifer Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Can anyone tell me anything about an artist called Peter Owen Jones, and whether there are any postcard type reproductions of his Sheffield scenes? Seen them advatised in Forge Dam cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I've seen Peter's work before, I think that it's very good. Who owns the print rights to the originals by the way, and the actual originals? Peter was a far more accomplished artist than (with respect) Scarborough, Gorman and Cunningham, maybe it's time for a revival. I really envy the likes of Peter, when I'm dead the memory of me will last as long as my son lives, folk could very well be talking about Peter in a couple of hundred years time. Don't let this thread die, Peter is as much a part of Sheffield as the City Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheff_saying Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have some prints that I am willing to sell including 'Sheaf Street' and 'Coles Corner' if anyone is interested. These belonged to my parents and my Dad really loved these pictures. I just haven't enough wall space and it seems a shame for them not to be appreciated.

Rivelin6 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 What years did he teach at King Edwards as I was there in the late 70's and early 80's and his face seems familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
