Gallery 1885 Exhibitions

A great feature of the Camera Club is that it has its own attractive ground-floor gallery Gallery 1885 with high-quality exhibition lighting and hanging space for around 40 exhibition prints. Monthly exhibitions feature outstanding work by one or more members, plus ‘outside’ exhibitions of national standing, as well as members' open exhibitions and competitions.

Gallery 1885 is open to the public – you do not have to be a Club Member to enjoy our exhibitions.

To see our upcoming exhibitions please visit our blog or wait for announcements on the homepage.

Future Exhibition


Surface Matters : Textures of Time

Peter Moseley

9th June - 4th July 2025

Open View : 12th June 2025

7:00 pm 


Dr Peter Moseley is an experienced photographer and printmaker using the techniques and processes of the nineteenth century, including photogravure, platinum, salt and albumen, carbon transfer, kallitype, collotype and cyanotype printing. He specialises in combining digital and analogue technologies and has exhibition entries shown at national and regional galleries, including the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Society of Printmakers Painters, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and the Royal West of England Academy. 


Surface Matters honours that tradition by returning to these slow, meticulous methods. Featuring contemporary platinum/palladium and photogravure prints, the exhibition explores how materiality—both photographic and physical—can deepen our engagement with time, memory, and the emotional tenor of place and portraiture.
