Campbell Archibald Mellon captured the fleeting glories of the English seaside summer, the escape for many thousands to Gorleston in Norfolk. His paintings (this is c1930) often stressed a celebratory brightness or as here, a typically grey day on the coast.

'Sketching in a Wood.' (1926) Louis Ginnett's painting is typical of many British artists who shunned the avant garde between the wars; this work had enormous appeal, with an emphasis on continuity; this picture, as did so many others, features his daughter Mary.

RIP John Robertson. One of most striking example of a player & manager transforming each other: he was not a first team regular in the second division for Forest when Clough arrived yet became central to winning promotion, the league title and two European Cups!
