I have quite a few photocopies of Leo's sketchings. He was a talented black and white illustrator. Pity the library no longer have his portrait on show. His father was a dentist on Blackburn Road, near the old Grammar School.
Thanks to Garinda, I am now aware of this lady. I just LOVE her paintings. Wish she would exhibit up the Haworth Art Gallery. I particularly like the one she's done of Warner Street. Wonder if I could buy a print? Will contact her gallery. http://www.ascotstudios.com/angela_wakefield.htm

Born in the Lancashire mill town of Accrington, in 1952, Trevor lives in the picturesque village of Sabden, nestled in the historic witch country of Pendle Hill by the Ribble Valley. He is a professional artist without any formal art training, and is totally self-taught. Trevor's varied subject matter depicts nostalgic architectural and figurative scenes bordering on Romantic Impressionism. The characteristic economy of detail and the use of a limited palette awards his paintings with a sense of ambience. He is inspired by the post war English artists Edward Seago and Sir William Russel Flint, and over more recent years by the renowned artists Trevor Chamberlain, John Yardley and Ken Howard. Trevor Lingard's reputation is consolidating nationally, his paintings are exclusive, each one is unique, original and has the Distinctive Hallmark Style.
Flippin eck! Am impressed watching that video.
Good lad Trevor! Accrington born and bred, Russelll Street - descends from the Lingards of Huncoat.
Just off to buy some paints and an easel .........
