by Rob Power

This homely gallery in Barnsley houses exhibitions covering anything from cutting-edge digital imagery to what most people perceive as ‘proper’ art, i.e.: very small pictures in massive frames by artists with names like Thomas Charles Leeson Ramsbottom (I joke not, this really was one of the artists' names when I visited).

Very nice if you like that sort of thing, and extremely worthy of a look round by all you Antiques Roadshow viewers out there.

There is also a display which cases artists proposals for the empty plinth in Market Hill.

There are lots of smaller bits of arty jewellery and tidbits on sale, including some very nice but completely useless ornaments.

There is a café inside the gallery also, with some of the friendliest staff you will ever speak to. They do a cracking scone, and the food is cheap and cheerful.

Small but satisfying, this gallery is one that you really should spend a few minutes in if the chance arises.
