George Worsley Adamson
was born in the Bronx, New York in 1913, the son of a master car builder for the Interboro-Rapid Transit Co. (IRT), Manhattan. He received his art training at the Mining and Technical College, Wigan, England and afterwards specialized in aquatint, etching and drypoint at Liverpool College of Art. From 1940 to 1946 he served in the RAF—for some time as an official war artist. His mother came from Wigan, and from the age of eight to adulthood George was brought up by his maiden aunts in Upper Dicconson Street, and later Clifton Crescent, Wigan. A number of his pictures are held by Wigan Heritage Service.
