On eBay, a fine painting of Stoke Station by George Heiron (1929-2001) with a local train and the North Staffordshire Hotel in the background. I have no passion for trains steam or otherwise, as machines, but the background and setting are interesting. Still a very recognisable scene today. His 2000 book The Paintings and Photographs of George Heiron can still be had second-hand for a reasonable amount. One wonders if there are more from Stoke & Staffordshire?
