An artist who has long been inspired by the Bronte sisters is to exhibit in their former home.

Oldham painter Bob Littleford will display new work based on his responses to the Brontes' poems.

Bob worked riveting door handles and as a dustman before becoming a full-time artist in the 1970s.

He turned to the Brontes after hearing Bernard Herrmann's opera adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

Over the years he has exhibited at the Royal Academy and become a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

The exhibition, Resurgam, will be at the Bronte Parsonage Museum from March 8 to April 19.
