Old Swan 'Pardoe's'
Original Graphite Sketch by SJ Cooksey
24" x 18" GRAPHITE Pencil on Canvas Paper FRAMED
"Ma Pardoe's" - The Olde Swan Inn - Netherton. is not just a place with a lot of history; it is a cherished establishment where I not only earned a living during my university years but also immersed myself in a wide range of experiences. From when my dad, head brewer. Paul Cooksey and his business partner Tim Newy. The pub was in need of major renovations, i spent early painting and decorating. to mastering the art of brewing with my dad, diligently serving patrons behind the bar with Mr Newey, and efficiently delivering the finest beer to over fifty pubs in the local area, every task at the pub contributed to my growth and left me with so many fond memories.
A Golden Age. The sketch will pay homage to the peak years of the Olde Swan brewery. Imagine a scene teeming with activity – kegs being stacked, vats overflowing with golden yeast, a team of dedicated individuals working in perfect harmony. The artist, now a seasoned member of the crew, might be depicted hauling a hefty bag of malt, a testament to the physical demands of the job.
This artwork transcends the boundaries of a mere sketch. It's a love letter to a cherished landmark, a chronicle of personal growth, and a celebration of hard work and camaraderie. It's an invitation to a bygone era, a reminder of the golden years of Ma Pardoe's, a place where memories were brewed alongside the finest ales.
This sketch is just one from a collection that breathes life into forgotten corners of the Black Country. Keep an eye out for more sketches and stories, each one a portal to a unique and cherished piece of local history.
