I am researching the life of the artist Featherstone Robson. He was born in Hexham, Northumberland in 1880 and he died in Canada in 1936. He usually signed his work F Robson.

I believe his brother Arnold Robson moved from the South Shields area to Altringham to take up the post of manager of the Altringham Gas Company in the early to mid 1900s. From there, he moved to Yorkshire. I would like to hear from anyone who may have information on Arnold Robson and his family.

I am planning an exhibition of the life and works of Featherstone Robson to be held next year in Hexham. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who may have prints or original paintings by this artist as I am trying to collate a record of all his known works.
