The industrial nature of Wigan with its many factories was the subject matter of many of Major's paintings. Mervyn Levy commented that a northern industrial town may be seen as 'ugly' by many yet Major managed to transform the scene 'into a pattern of startling and moving beauty' (Exhibition catalogue, Theodore Major Centenary, Oldham, 2008, unpaginated).
