Neil Roland - Gallery 57 Lancashire (inc. Preston, Leigh, Heywood
& North Lancashire)
This is just part of a collection of artworks I have created from all
over the county of Lancashire, the county of my birth. I can blend Lancashire
images so that they make a personalised artwork, incorporating just those areas
which are meaningful to an individual - indeed blending with other areas across
the United Kingdom and seen in other galleries on this site. Please just
ask.
