Driffold Gallery, Sutton Coldfield  The Driffold Gallery, "An Oasis of tranquility" Text below is sourced wholly from The Driffold Gallery website and is reproduced here with grateful thanks. A Favourite Gallery of the Midlands - supplying fine works across the U.K. Established in 1983 and now one of the best known Fine Art Dealers in Central England. The Gallery occupies the whole of 'The Smithy,' a grade II listed building of deceptive size, adjacent to Royal Sutton Coldfield town centre. This is one of the Bishop Vesey buildings dating from the 14th and 15th centuries which are an important part of Sutton's heritage. Despite being on the busy Birmingham road, it remains an oasis of tranquility and conveniently has it's own visitors' car park on the premises.  A section of one of the Driffold's highly individual and relaxing Gallery display rooms. Proprietor, David Gilbert, believes the success of the business is due to the wide range of subjects, styles and prices, with Victorian, Impressionist and Modern artists being represented. All pictures are firmly vetted to good London and universal standards, promising lasting pleasure and investment potential in a satisfying combination. DRIFFOLD GALLERY CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF MY WORK IN STOCK Driffold Gallery can be found at The Smithy, 78 Birmingham Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1QR or you can visit the website at www.driffoldgallery.com back to top of page L'Bidi Gallery and Framing Studio  L'Bidi's gallery and framing workshop are now at The Forge, Grove Farm, Abbots Ripton. L'Bidi Gallery and Framing Studio moved in early 2009 from its base of nearly 25 years at the Broadway, St. Ives to a new home in the picturesque Cambridgeshire village of Abbots Ripton a few miles north of Huntingdon. Whilst the premises are a little smaller, there is still the same ambiance about the place and the unique mixture of local scenes, watercolours, 3D items inlcuding individual ceramic items, turned wood, jewellery etc are all still very evident. L'Bidi is also continuing with the bespoke framing service which has been built up over a almost a quarter of a century at old the St. Ives shop. This aspect of the business continues to expand and attract new customers as well as keeping a loyal clientele who have followed this very individual and stylish art studio out of the town centre at St. Ives to it's new home. I for one anticipate being a frequent visitor and hope to supply original paintings and print of Abbots Ripton later this year. Abbots Ripton is a beautiful and unspoilt English village with a wonderful charm and character and L'Bidi Studio's fabulous range of art and gift ideas will make a substantial additional contribution to further enhancing this charming place. L'Bidi Studio is to be found in idyllic seclusion at The Forge, Grove Farm, Abbots Ripton, Cambridgeshire, PE28 2PE. Visit the L'Bidi website. Look out for the sign on the end of the building. back to top of page Lichfield Cathedral Bookshop  The picture on the left shows Lichfield Cathedral Bookshop which sits directly opposite the main entrance to the Cathedral in Cathedral Close.
