Don Breckon - Artist Details and Print Database

Don Breckon

Don Breckon was born in 1935 in Northamptonshire and is married with three children. He trained at the Bath Academy of Art and went to teach art at schools in Bedford and Reading. His painting during this period ranged from city scapes to abstracts and other experimental work. He contributed regularly to local galleries and to open exhibitions and in 1969 he reduced his teaching to part time in order to develop his own painting. His work was then becoming related to railway themes and was included in two travelling exhibitions at the Industrial Artists Group. Today his work is entirely involved with the railway scene and he has appeared on television and had two books published on his work.

Much Wenlock by Don Breckon.

This superb Don Breckon painting painted in 1988 was released as a print in around 1990, and these are much sought after. The last train pulled out of Much Wenlock railway station in 1962. The old railway house is now a private residence. The railway was opened in 1861 to serve the local industries (moulting and tanning) and also brought thousands of visitors to the Much Wenlock Olympic Games founded by William Penny Brooks in 1850. He campaigned around the world for the revival of the great ancient Greek games.


In Town Tonight by Don Breckon.

The destination of the tram is East Hill which would make this location Wandsworth in London.


Skye Boat Train by Don Breckon.

An LMS Black Five 4.6.0 locomotive heads the boat train to Kyle of Lochalsh along the southern shore of Loch Carron. After the 82 mile rail journey from Inverness the train would connect at Kyle with the boat fro the crossing to the Isle of Skye. The line was completed in 1897, the last 10 miles requiring 31 rock cuttings and 29 bridges. The Black Fives worked passenger and freight trains on the line from the 1930 to the end of steam.
