Landscapes
Landscapes are well represented within the Sankey collection. From lonely coastlines, to the tops of Lakeland fells, the Sankeys recorded the drama and beauty of the natural world throughout the seasons. Familiar scenes are represented along with many not so well known places; using their car they travelled widely often making a considerable effort to get their landscape pictures. Here is a small selection; there are many more within the collection to enjoy.
