Charlie Rogers, Pursued by Bulldozers
The official archive and shop for Gateshead painter Charlie Rogers.
The story
A memorial website for Charlie Rogers (1930-2020), the self-taught Gateshead painter who raced the demolition crews to record Tyneside's back lanes, pubs and corner shops before they came down. It tells his story, maps the places he painted and sells the new book about him, with fine art prints to follow.

A heritage-grade archive that pairs paintings with the real streets they show, many of which no longer exist, with historic map overlays
