A NOSTALGIC exhibition is launching an art trail through Handforth village.

Pictures by local artist Eamonn Murphy reflect the style of classic travel posters from the 1920s and 1930s.

The images celebrate places of interest accessible from railway stations across Cheshire, including many in the Wilmslow and Handforth area.
