Another exhibition is, Inspired by Journeys, by R Simon Dalton, Johnny Bean and Graham Dean at the Link Gallery, Carnforth Station Heritage Centre, it runs until June 30.

This trio of photographers with different styles have joined forces again.

Johnny’s photographs were taken for a 40th party held at Carnforth Station. Simon’s were taken in the autumn of 2015 on a trip to New York.

Graham’s are a less coherent collection - with colour being an important element in his five images.
