Set at the Bishopley Lime Kilns near Frosterley, Weardale, this work reflects the enduring presence of structures once central to local industry. Limestone burned here produced lime for building, agriculture, paper, and paint, shaping both the landscape and community.

A young boy walks past the kilns, his footsteps in fresh snow linking present day to the 19th century, when boys his age might have worked among the fires and stone. A stark contrast to the quiet cold structures. The painting explores how memory, labour, and landscape remain intertwined — echoes of history still held within.
