Remembering Ruth and Eddie Frow

The Trustees of the Working Class Movement Library would be very pleased to hear from anyone with a suggestion on how best to remember Ruth and Eddie Frow, the joint founders of the library.

Eddie died in 1997, Ruth died earlier this year. In establishing the WCML they made an incalculable contribution to saving and popularising the history of working class social, industrial and cultural movements of the last 200 years.
