Framed painting of 1950s Grimsby trawler failed to set heather alight at today's antiques auction in Louth

                                                          

This framed oil-on-canvas study of  Grimsby trawler GY92 today sold for £20 at the monthly antiques auction held by John Taylors at their saleroom  in Louth. The market for paintings of Grimsby trawlers has not been particularly strong in recent months - hence the fairly modest hammer price. The picture is believed to have been painted in 1954.
