Pile is a British Romanticism artist. 24 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Pile painted watercolours of British buildings and landmarks in the 1930s and 40s. Try their Windmill at Staining, near Blackpool, done in May 1943, or Entrance to Westminster Abbey with Big Ben in the distance, from 1937. These sheets show quiet corners of the country, caught in soft washes and careful lines. Tap The Admiralty to see another 1937 view of London.
