Her drawings of city landmarks such as Lichfield Cathedral, the Guildhall, Samuel Johnson's birthplace and Erasmus House will now feature on tea towels, coasters, tote bags, magnets and key rings on sale at the Arthur Price factory shop in Britannia Way.

Jackie said she was approached by the company after seeing her pictures of the city.
