THE final exhibition at Darlington's art gallery opened last week.

The paintings and drawings on show are by three Hartlepool artists Tom Furness, Margery Shotton and Bob Watson and include views of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Durham City.

The exhibition runs until Saturday, September 28, just before the art gallery closes and moves to its new home in the former rates centre at Darlington Town Hall.

The current gallery, which is joined to Darlington library, is being transformed into a new community IT resource centre in line with Government plans to ensure everyone has access to a computer.
