The Working Class Movement Library in Salford is saddened to announce the sudden death of its co-founder Ruth Frow, at the age of 85, on Friday 11 January 2008.

Ruth and her husband Eddie founded the library in their home in Old Trafford in the mid 1950s. For years they travelled Britain in their holidays with a caravan, collecting items that few then valued. Eventually the collection filled every room in their house. In 1987 the Library, now a Charitable Trust, was offered a new home in Jubilee House on The Crescent in Salford, where it now fills 40 rooms.
