Title: 1977 Watercolour of St. Teath Village Street, North Cornwall with Esso Sign
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on artists paper, on board
Size: 9.75 x 13.75 inches
Condition: very good; light handling wear and natural patina to paper edges consistent with age
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: A characterful 1977 watercolour capturing the village of St. Teath in North Cornwall, this work offers a nostalgic glimpse into rural British life. The composition centres on a quiet street flanked by cottages, stone walls, and a classic Esso petrol station sign—a rare feature that immediately dates the scene and adds charm for collectors of vintage British ephemera.
St. Teath, located near Port Isaac and Bodmin Moor, is a traditional Cornish village known for its slate-roof cottages, narrow lanes and pastoral views. In this painting, the artist captures a moody sky glowing with muted evening light, while telegraph wires lead the eye gently into the distance. A children-crossing road sign and two lightly-sketched figures in the foreground further ground the work in a very particular time and place — a disappearing postwar countryside, still quietly in motion.
Executed in soft washes and confident gestural marks, this piece is notable for its minimalist palette and attention to architectural detail. Whether you know the region or simply love evocative British village street scenes, this painting is full of atmosphere and visual storytelling. Pieces like this appeal strongly to fans of Cornwall, 1970s UK nostalgia, and those drawn to understated representations of everyday life.
Perfect for interiors seeking a touch of vintage realism, or collectors of regional British landscapes, particularly those depicting the West Country.
