Families’ photos go on show

AN exhibition of photographs taken by local families will be held in Egremont next week.

The pictures follow a month-long course, organised by Howgill Family Centre and run by local photographer Alan Cleaver.

James Bowden, a youth support worker for Howgill, said: “The exhibition is to showcase the workings of some of our parents and children who have used the photography course to bond.’’

The exhibition, which includes shots of Whitehaven Harbour, Muncaster and family portraits, will be held from February 20-27 at 50a, Main Street.
