The Gift of Water. A story of kindness and unkindness in Frome, past, present and future.
Jayne Sadgrove (Chair, Frome Society) with Simon Keyes
Our taps now give us drinking water. We take it for granted.
But it took over ten years for town leaders to agree that Frome needed piped drinking water in the 1870s. Learn why people denied that a clean water supply was needed. Surely it was obvious?
Discover how our predecessors managed to provide water for their families, for drinking, cooking and washing. There are visible traces around our town.
Access to clean water is vital for health. How can we ensure drinking water is freely available to all in our town today?
This special evening is a first-ever collaboration between the Kindness Festival and the Frome Society. It will consist of a presentation followed by an interval, discussion and Q&A. Wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase. It will also be possible to participate online.
Wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase both before the presentation and during the interval
