Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust is to host a one-off showing of Past Lives Ironbridge at Enginuity on 20 September.
Made from vintage community cine film of Ironbridge, Madeley, Jackfield, Coalbrookdale, Wellington, Broseley and surrounding areas, Past Lives provides an insight into local social history and features footage of the Ironbridge power station being built in the 1960s together with film of Jackfield Summer Fair, Wellington and Broseley carnivals and WWI and WWII heroes in procession. Local hero Eustace Rogers, the last of a long line of Ironbridge coracle makers, can also be seen via cine footage shot by Jackfield couple George and Edna Morris who, over many decades, recorded important and everyday events of the region.
Past Lives is accompanied by a live music performance from international touring musicians Dave Sturt and Theo Travis, who have worked with staff and pupils of Abraham Darby Academy School to compose a new piece of music for the film.
For further information, and to purchase tickets at £3 each, contact the Museum of The Gorge on 01952 433424 or online at www.ironbridge.org.uk
