"View one of the Borough’s foremost art treasures, ‘Going North’, painted by George Earl."


Going North and Coming South - Two pictures commissioned by Sir Andrew Barclay Walker of the Walker Brewery, the paintings are bustling narrative works depicting railway station life. Now owned by the National Railway Museum they were rescued in 1990 from a Liverpool pub (The Vines in Lime Street). Going North tells the story of a group of friends travelling from Kings Cross to Scotland for the summer grouse shooting season. The partner work Coming South shows the group a month later at Perth Station, about to make their return journey.[3] The works show much of the minutiae of Victorian station life and also include Earl's trademark sporting interests in the form of dogs and grouse.


From here.

A twicer perhaps?
