| John Taylor: 25 September – 6 November 2010 |
John was the winner of the West Lancashire Open Exhibition’s
Peoples’ Prize in 2009. His eerie images depicting derelict

Dave Pilkington: 15 January – 26 February 2011 |
LACi, This collection of photographs is an affectionate and intimate portrayal of shopkeepers in the town of Burscough. Each image captures the character behind the counter, celebrating the personal touch of individual shops that is often absent from vast and anonymous supermarkets. A fascinating insight in to the everyday activities of local shops and shopkeepers, businesses that have often been in the area for decades and long may they stay. |
