A local artist was pictured painting what appears to be new signage on the front of the newly renovated Roxy Cinema in Ulverston yesterday (October 10).

The man up on the scaffolding in the high vis vest is artist Chris Dorning who was formerly a contestant on Sky Arts' Landscape Artist Of The Year.

Chris has re-vamped the exterior of the 1937 Art Deco building after repairs and renovations started in 2023.

As well as painting the Roxy's new logo, he also gave the building its new white, gold and black colour scheme and painted a stunning colourful mural of Laurel and Hardy to celebrate Another Fine Fest's tenth anniversary.

The images posted on its Facebook page appear to show him painting the words 'Laurel and Hardy' however the finished results are yet to be posted. 

A faint outline can be seen of more text to come.
