Dr Clarke, of Durham City, became an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society The Royal Photographic Society was founded in the United Kingdom in 1853 "to promote the Art and Science of Photography".

It offers various levels of qualifications in photographic skills and runs an extensive programme of lectures and events throughout the United Kingdom

He said: "Working with the people of the local allotments has introduced me to the camaraderie and friendly competition that typifies them.

His exhibition continues until September 28.
