The nostalgic and supremely evocative paintings of John Chapman have become world famous in his more than forty-year

career. One of the hallmarks of his work is the loving re-creation of various modes of transport, from mighty steam locomotives

to horse-drawn trams, and from classic cars to Routemaster buses, all shown in settings appropriate to their era.

In this new collection of his work, the scenes range from a summer's day in Blackpool in 1952, as a streamlined `Vambac' tram heads down to the Pleasure Beach whilst an Alvis and a Corporation bus head in the opposite direction; the Flying Scotsman hurtling north to Edinburgh in the 1930s, passing horses and men haymaking in the English countryside; to

Churchgate in Bolton in the late 1950s with an Bedford 10cwt van, aVauxhallVelox and an Austin Cambridge completing the scene.
