Specialists have been carefully using a steam cleaning process to slowly lift away all that grime while being sympathetic to our heritage buildings.

The first photo was taken in August this year... Three months later, and it's already showing remarkable results☺️

Doodler's Art Club will return for monthly sessions in the new year, but until then we have FREE winter-themed activities available on select Saturdays throughout December👉 bit.ly/4iWSRgn

Hi Alan. This is undated unfortunately, but we know it was exhibited in the 1890s so its a safe bet that it originates from that decade.

We're not sure who the gentleman is, but he's got the right idea in this cold - he's sat on top of the grill where our heating comes from, keeping nice and warm☺️

Michael's exhibition runs until 28th November. You can find the Shoosmith at Delapré Abbey and its FREE entry. We're looking forward to visiting next week☺️

The streets around us may be different, but some things don't change. We spoke to John recently and he is now in his 93rd year - still framing artworks and producing prints from his home in Desborough.

The street was already being redeveloped by then and was likely produced from an earlier image. John is a keen member of Friends of Kettering Art Gallery and Museum, drawing Kettering scenes many times, and has framed works by other artists in the collection.

There's 4 of us here, but our larger artworks need a minimum of 6 people💪

We can't wait to flex our muscles and install exhibitions again when the Gallery reopens in 2026❤️

A typical East landscape, large and beautiful, it measures over two metres wide.

Donated by the artist when Alfred East Gallery was built, we've looked after it here for 112 years ❤
