Most of the paintings in the area are housed in galleries in Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside and Stockport, with the majority in store. These collections include a gallery devoted to local artist Harry Rutherford, a wonderfully quirky set of paintings by Tim Bobbin, known as the Lancashire Hogarth, and a fourteenth-century triptych. As well as local artists, the collections include works by William Etty, L. S. Lowry, Lucian Freud, Walter Sickert, Godfrey Kneller, Helen Bradley and Edward Burne-Jones.
