The Darlington Spiral (2022)

The Pubs of Darlington, hand drawn by Ben Staves in an intriguing spiral style design! 

Daniel Defoe visited Darlington in the 18th Century and wrote that the town “had nothing remarkable but dirt”. Well we think that’s a little bit harsh so decided to draw a spiral picture emphasising it’s most notable buildings and especially it’s drinking dens!

Also on the picture, and in acknowledgment of Darlington being at the end of the world’s first permanent steam locomotive railway line, is the life-size brick sculpture of a steaming locomotive. 

Perfect for anyone who holds Darlington close to their hearts as a Christmas, birthday or possibly  wedding anniversary present. 

Framing Options

All our prints include a mountboard border and a backboard. This is sealed in a protective sleeve and delivered flat, ready to frame. Mountboards are cut to fit standard sized frames but are not stuck down to the artwork, meaning they can be removed without damaging the print beneath. International orders will be sent rolled in a poster tube without a mountboard border.

We also offer a choice of three framing options which can be selected from the drop down menu. Framed prints are made to order and sent in custom made protective packaging consisting of an inner tray, foam wrap and an outer cardboard box. They also include hangers, care instructions and a cleaning cloth. Please allow up to 15 working days for framed delivery.
