COLLECTORS will have a great opportunity to own a painting of a rare view of York, by artist by Frederick (Fred) Cecil Jones RBA, when Tennants of Leyburn, hold ‘A Yorkshire View Sale’ on Saturday.

In the same auction, which has around 100 lots and begins at 9.30am, there are paintings that depict local areas, including two of Leyburn Marketplace (£500-£800 each) and Scarborough (£2,000-£3,000). The auction is expected to last about an hour.
