PICTURES by a famed Witney watercolour painter are being given their own space in a new exhibition.

The work of James Allen Shuffrey has gone on display at the Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock until September 28.

He was born in in Witney in 1859, the son of a blanket maker, and later lived in Oxford until his death at the age of 80.

Many of his paintings were of the historic stone buildings of Oxford but he also travelled across the county by tricycle to record streets or buildings before they were demolished.
