AN exhibition based on the architecture of Burnley's Towneley Hall is on display until the beginning of November.

It features watercolours commissioned in 1999 to show the hall's architectural features, which were painted by Rochdale artist Kit Smith.

It also includes historic illustration showing the earliest view of Towneley Hall so far discovered, which dates from 1742 and was located in Canada.

Sir Simon Towneley has lent a watercolour of the hall painted in the 1700s by George Barratt, which has not been seen there for more than a century.

Towneley curator Susan Bourne said: "You will see Towneley Hall in a new light when you visit this exhibition. It opened my eyes to things I hadn't noticed in 30 years."

The exhibition runs until Sunday, November 9, admission is free and the hall is open every day except Friday.
