BISHOP Auckland past and present is the focus of an exhibition.

Photographer John Clarke has captured scenes in the Market Place, and the people who work there, for the display, which runs from November 16 to December 16, at the Discovery Centre.

The exhibition has been commissioned by the centre, with support from Wear Valley District Council.

Admission is free. It is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 11am to 4pm.
