The Story of Emily Wards Painting of Tynemouth Longsands Beach



The painting of Tynemouth Longsands was originally commissioned by a local lawyer. If you look closely at the painting you can see two small figures hugging on the beach. The customer who commissioned the painting wanted the painting to give to her husband for their wedding anniversary. The two figures represent both of them walking along the beach just after he had just proposed to her.


Tynemouth has lots of amazing iconic sites. The Priory Tynemouth sits on the edge of the Tynemouth Cliffs. There are two piers , one in Tynemouth which attracts local fishermen who fish on the edges of the pier. 


The two piers make the entrance to the river Tyne.Their bright lights show the boats and the ships the safest route.  It is not unusual to see huge ships packed with tourists travelling across the North Sea to Amsterdam.
