Abandoned Quarry, Bradwell — Maurice Wade (1917–1991)
A quietly powerful landscape by one of the Potteries' most distinctive painters, Maurice Wade. This print captures the brooding stillness of an abandoned quarry at Bradwell — a subject that speaks to the industrial heritage and raw natural beauty of the region Wade spent his life documenting.
