Roger also did much of the work in putting the exhibition together. Opened by Nobel prize winner Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, the exhibition received great acclaim. It tells the story of Todmorden\u2019s rich industrial heritage and its people and the success was in no small part due to the detailed research undertaken.\u00a0 It is a fine body of work and is presented here as a tribute to all those who contributed to the exhibition.<\/p>\n August 2017 - Latest News <\/b>- A selection of display panels from this exhibition can now be viewed at Todmorden Library on their Heritage Days, the 1st Wednesday\u00a0of the month.<\/p>","credits":"","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"","theme_options":null,"slug":"the-making-of-todmorden","added":"2017-02-14 10:47:51","modified":"2017-10-05 18:12:31","owner_id":1,"use_summary_page":1,"cover_image_file_id":9853,"id":3},"item":{"item_type_id":6,"collection_id":66,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2017-02-20 11:56:55","modified":"2017-10-05 18:03:42","owner_id":2,"id":10507}}
