A PAINTING has been commissioned to raise funds to rebuild Bradshaw Bridge.

Members of Bradshaw War Memorial cricket, tennis and bowling fund-raising committee approached Bolton artist Joseph Tickle to produce a painting of the bridge.

Mr Tickle can be found working at Characters Art Gallery in the St Georges Craft Centre in Bolton town centre.

He is a Bolton-born, self taught artist with 30 years experience. He turned professional just under two years ago and now paints a variety of media and styles including landscapes, portraits, caricature and illustration.

Signed and numbered copies of his painting will be sold to the public, with proceeds going to the Bradshaw Bridge fund. Prints cost £17 mounted or £29 framed.

To purchase a print, contact Carole Mitchell on 01204 521907.
