The three-mile Pit Road leading from Cornish’s home in Spennymoor to the Dean and Chapter Colliery at Ferryhill is one of his most familiar subjects – and a route he himself walked every day for over 33 years. The pastel on paper is signed and inscribed and was gifted to the vendor’s father by the artist.
