The Working Memories Collection
This collection of memories was inspired by the 2009 Robert Golden exhibition, Home.
The Home in Frome community group was formed later that year and over 80 local residents were interviewed between 2009 and 2012 about their working lives in the past. These stories and images highlight the many changes Frome has undergone over the last 70 years.
