George Cole: Works
built 284 days ago
" George Cole has written a book that should be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in Davis’ life and work irrespective of which period of his music you prefer. It offers a valuable insight into this most complex of personalities, and reveals a side to Miles that many may not have known existed…for this reader it has prompted a re-examination of this decade which has revealed a fascinating area of music that I had previously overlooked."

Developers have always had to work with a Cole because some family member has represented coastal Sussex since the county government switched from a levy court to a council system in 1974. Charlie Cole, George's father, was the first fourth district councilman until his death near the end of his third term in 1986. Charlie Cole's wife, Kitty, was appointed to complete his term. She remains the only woman to have served on the Sussex County Council.

COLE, GEORGE RONALD (1908-1969), headmaster and politician, was born on 9 February 1908 at Don, near Devonport, Tasmania, one of the five children of George Cole, labourer, and his wife Alice, née Rutter, both native-born. Alice was a staunch Methodist who imbued her children with the work ethic and a sense of social values. Educated at Devonport High School, young George became a student-teacher in 1925 and later studied at the University of Tasmania. While playing for New Town, in 1928 he won the Wilson J. Bailey trophy for best and fairest in the Tasmanian Australian National Football League; he ... represented his State at the 1930 carnival in Adelaide. Cole's earnings from the game helped his family during the Depression.

During the 1880s Cole had concentrated on a series of paintings on the subject of the Thames. However this painting shows a return to his subjects of the 1870s the garden of a friend at Abinger in Surrey. Cole's Surrey landscapes were among his best known works. This scene depicts the morning dew above sunlight which drifts across the sloping field, continuing high above the distant, wooded vista.

Cole, now in his 70s and working on the occasional sitcom or drama, has cut down on his theatre work, simply because stage productions in Britain require a lot more touring. One of the few things he didn't enjoy about his Australian visit was that tyranny of distance, the fact "I couldn't get home at the weekends".
