Talk:Marjorie Arnfield

message: The current version says:
:While attending art schools in Sunderland (Sunderland College of Art) and Durham (Durham University), ...
But did Durham University ever have any sort of art department? Might it have been at King's College (which was at Newcastle before Newcastle's separation from Durham in 1963)? It would be useful if references can be found and quoted that add some form of precision, especially to the Durham suggestion. Alas I have no books about her. Meanwhile I'll place a 'fact' template on them. (Incidentally pedantically speaking 'Durham University' would be wrong; it was (and legally still is) the 'University of Durham', the term 'Durham University' only gained some official currency within the last couple of years.)

replies: text: Partial self-reply: I see that King's College, Durham (in Newcastle upon Tyne, and fore-runner to the later-independent University of Newcastle upon Tyne) did have an art department.  But refs/cites would still be nice. Feline Hymnic (talk) 00:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Thanks. From long local knowledge, I'm familiar with the University of Durham (founded 1832) having a major outpost at Newcastle known as "King's College", which in 1963 formally became the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. But I've no recollection of ever hearing the name "King Edward VII" college. (I not claiming that the name never existed; merely that the name's use today would need clarification even to those familiar with the history of Durham/Newcastle university history.)

message: Re. your other query - about the point at which Marjorie became concerned about the coal miners and the coal mining industry. She said in the article I mentioned above that she was always aware of the mines, growing up in the North East.
I then found in the excellent The Artists of Northumbria the following statement: "her lifelong interest in the mining industry led her in the 1990s to record its virtual demise and in 1994 British Coal toured her exhibition Coal Mining in Nottinghamshire - a Tribute, to produce work for which she subsequently went underground in a wheelchair."
:Great. I've removed my edit that had requested confirmation, and add the ref you mention. Feline Hymnic (talk) 21:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This edit inserted a reference to "Tee-side". Would that be Teesside? If the Guardian article had it wrong (as if!) their version should perhaps be retained. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 21:17, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
