Workers move between towering red-brick mills while children play in the streets and chimneys send smoke into a pale urban sky. Painted with characterful brushwork and a clear nod to the legacy of L. S. Lowry, the scene feels both lively and authentic.\nA vibrant and charming work, rich in movement and atmosphere, it is an ideal piece for collectors of Northern art or anyone seeking a nostalgic yet distinctive interior statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Goodlad is a self-taught Manchester artist who returned to painting later in life after a career in the building trade. Leaving school with only a pass in Art, he rekindled his passion in his 50s through formal fine art study, developing a distinctive Northern realist style.\nStrongly influenced by L. S. Lowry, Goodlad’s work captures the look, feel, and spirit of working-class life in the North. His paintings are held in private collections across the UK and are admired for their honesty, charm, and nostalgic power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Date\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLate 20th to early 21st century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a private UK collection.
