Title: Walking Towards The Sole Bay Inn Southwold Evening Street Scene with Figures
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Signed: Bottom right
Medium: Watercolor on paper, mounted
Size: 13.5 inches (height) x 15 inches (width)
Condition: good, with some signs on wear consistent with aging
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: A beautifully atmospheric watercolour capturing the approach to one of Suffolk’s most iconic pubs — The Sole Bay Inn in Southwold — as twilight sets in. Painted in rich, cool tones, this evening scene shows couples and groups strolling along the street, bathed in soft lamplight and the glow of warm windows. At the right, the distinctive white façade and red signage of The Sole Bay Inn are unmistakable, while further back, the looming silhouette of Southwold Lighthouse rises behind the rooftops, anchoring the setting in local identity.
Tony Herbert expertly captures the poetic stillness of evening — where the sky turns indigo, lights flicker on, and the pace of life slows. Figures are loosely rendered but tenderly observed, with particular focus on a couple walking together in the foreground. The painterly shadows, soft blending, and vibrant shopfronts create a beautiful sense of narrative and mood.
The Sole Bay Inn is a beloved Southwold landmark located just steps from the beach, often visited by holidaymakers, artists, and lighthouse-watchers alike. Its welcoming glow has long symbolised hospitality, tradition, and coastal charm — all qualities echoed in this work.
Perfect for collectors of coastal scenes, pub-related artworks, or lovers of Southwold, this painting would make a striking addition to a living space, reading room, or hallway. A testament to Herbert’s quiet mastery of light and mood, it invites pause, memory, and perhaps a touch of nostalgia.
