Look out for the new Exhibition opening soon at Sheffield Manor Lodge's Turret House on the Sheffield Castle.
The original oil painting of Sheffield Castle by renowned Sheffield artist Kenneth Steel, has found its way back to Sheffield. This magnificent five by four foot painting, originally commissioned in 1950 by the Brightside and Carbrook Cooperative store headquarters in Angel Street, has for a number of years been in store in Manchester.
Following negotiations with the Society through one of the Friends of Manor Lodge, we have arranged for this superb picture to be displayed in the Turret House as part of a new exhibition telling the story of the medieval castle and the link with the Manor Lodge.
We are also discovering more about the under-regarded artist. It turns out that Kenneth Steel, who lived in Crookes, was a prolific artist who is most famous for producing the iconic images for the famous railway posters of the 1930s and 40s.
